Research direction
Start by locating the vscode-debugprotocol type declarations for ProtocolMessage and its Request, Event, and Response subclasses. Review how the existing ProtocolMessage.type and Event.event fields are declared; the work is complete when subclass declarations provide the requested literal discriminants and TypeScript can narrow the message type from those fields.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
In the vscode-debugprotocol package, the type declarations for the ProtocolMessage subclasses, Request, Event, Response, etc. don't specify the type field. ProtocolMessage.type is defined as type: 'request' | 'response' | 'event' | string at the ProtocolMessage level. If the type enum was specified on each subclass as request, response, ect, then TypeScript can automatically cast a ProtocolMessage to the respective subclass when you check the type field, which would save boilerplate.
Similar type declarations could also be used on the Event.event field and Event's subclasses.
