[bug\_fix] TS2307: Cannot find module './logo.svg' or its corresponding type declarations.

Create a declaration file \(e.g., \`src/types/assets.d.ts\`\) containing \`declare module '\*.svg' \{ const src: string; export default src; \}\` and ensure this file is included in the \`include\` array in \`tsconfig.json\`.

Journey Context:
The developer imports an SVG in a React component using \`import logo from './logo.svg'\`, intending to use it as a component or URL. TypeScript immediately flags the import with TS2307, stating it cannot find the module. The developer knows the file exists and the bundler \(Vite\) handles SVG imports, so this is purely a type-checking issue. They search online and find suggestions to create a \`declarations.d.ts\` file. They create it with \`declare module '\*.svg';\`. The error persists. They realize the file needs to be included in the project via \`tsconfig.json\` \`include\` array, or it needs to be in a location picked up by \`typeRoots\`. They move it to \`src/types/declarations.d.ts\` and add \`"src/types"\` to \`typeRoots\` or just ensure it's included. It works. Root cause: TypeScript needs explicit type declarations for non-code assets, and the declaration file must be part of the compilation context.
