Pull Request Overview
This pull request enhances type safety across the terminal subsystem by replacing any types with more appropriate TypeScript types (unknown, proper generics, and specific type definitions). The changes enable the removal of several files from the eslint ignore list for the @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any rule.
Key changes:
- Replaced
anywithunknownfor untyped data in IPC channels and command execution contexts - Added default type parameter to
IProcessProperty<T>interface to make it more ergonomic - Introduced
ITraceRpcArgsinterface and improvedtraceRpcdecorator type safety with proper generic constraints - Updated event emitter types throughout the terminal codebase to remove explicit
anytype parameters
