Report #5346

[bug\_fix] Cannot find module './config.json' or its corresponding type declarations. ts\(2307\)

Set \`"resolveJsonModule": true\` in \`tsconfig.json\` under \`compilerOptions\`.

Journey Context:
Developer is building a CLI tool and attempts to import a JSON file to read version metadata: \`import manifest from './manifest.json'\`. The runtime \(Node.js with \`--experimental-json-modules\` or a bundler\) handles the import, but TypeScript immediately flags it with TS2307. The developer searches the error code and finds references to \`resolveJsonModule\`. They initially place it in the root of \`tsconfig.json\` by mistake, causing a warning. After correcting it to sit inside \`compilerOptions\`, the error disappears. TypeScript now not only resolves the module but also infers the JSON structure as a static type, providing autocomplete for the imported object's properties.
