SIGNALS
Commit-Level AnalysistriggeredHIGH

chore: bump dev dependencies (#1457) This updates typescript and a few other dev dependencies. The type checker got smarter so one of the test functions no longer type checks correctly thanks to spying on a complex union. So I have used an `as never` cast.
