Adding an export in one file and using it from in another requires a daemon restart

[NoahAndrews]

Environment information

My project has a main.ts entry point, as well as a util.ts file that it uses. util.ts imports nothing from main.ts. I'm using typescript 5.4.5 and tsimp 2.0.11, and the project is set up to be ESM-only.

Reproduction steps

1. Run TSIMP_DIAG=error tsimp src/main.ts (should work correctly)
2. Add the line export const greeting = "hi"; to util.ts
3. Add these lines to main.ts:

 import { greeting } from "./util.js";
 console.log(greeting);

4. Run TSIMP_DIAG=error tsimp src/main.ts again
   • Now I get an error: src/main.ts:10:10 - error TS2724: '"./util.js"' has no exported member 'greeting'.
5. Run tsimp --restart
6. Run TSIMP_DIAG=error tsimp src/main.ts a third time, and now it works again.

I did spend some time looking at this, and it seems like the issue might be at the Typescript server level (or how this project uses the Typescript API), but I don't have enough knowledge of either this codebase or that one to be comfortable filing a bug report there. The typescript server API is not particularly well-documented.

This issue was previously reported here, but the issue it's commented on is more specifically about tsconfig.json changes, so I'm leaving this open.

Update: I thought I had figured out how to fix this, but it didn't actually work. See #22
