Research direction

Start by reproducing dtslint types with version 0.0.183 and inspect where it opens notNeededPackages.json. No source file or test is named in the issue, so trace the failing path from the ENOENT error. Done means the command handles the file's absence appropriately and no longer returns error code 1.
