Research direction

Start by inspecting the generated package.json and the template that supplies its @types/vscode dependency, then reproduce the failure with npm install. Trace why the generated project requests an unavailable version, and verify that a newly generated TypeScript extension installs successfully with npm.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When I try to create an extension with yo code, it fails to npm install at the end:

✔ What type of extension do you want to create? New Extension (TypeScript)
✔ What's the name of your extension? shutdown_repro
✔ What's the identifier of your extension? shutdown-repro
✔ What's the description of your extension?
✔ Initialize a git repository? No
✔ Which bundler to use? unbundled
✔ Which package manager to use? npm

The last version of this package on npm seems to be 1.110.0 but it seems to be trying to get 1.113.0.
