Research direction
Open the linked TypeScript Playground and reproduce the highlighting difference in VS Code 1.61.2 using the provided lambda and type declarations. Inspect the TextMate grammar behavior and scope/token output around the type statement without a semicolon. Done means type and const receive the same highlighting inside and outside the lambda without requiring a semicolon.
