Typescript: Ambient declarations (.d.ts) not being discovered anymore

[atrauzzi]

Suddenly this morning, a particular ambient declaration has started causing errors, preventing anything from working.

This is the project & branch I'm working in: https://github.com/atrauzzi/gerty/tree/hashi-gerty

I think it's a fairly straightforward webpack & ts-node setup. Again, it's been working up until this morning...

$ cross-env NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack-dev-server/bin/webpack-dev-server.js --port 5174 --inline --disable-host-check --config=webpack.debug.ts

  Try `npm install @types/sudo-prompt` if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing `declare module 'sudo-prompt';`

I know that's a common error message, but I had already done what's necessary to mitigate it. Here is my ambient.d.ts at the root of the project:

declare module "*.jpg" {
    const path: string;
    export default path;
}

declare module "hostile" {
    const hostile: any;
    export default hostile;
}

declare module "sudo-prompt" {

    export function exec(cmd: string, options: { name?: string, icns?: string }, callback: (error: string, stdout: string, stderr: string) => void): any;
}

declare module "webpack-shell-plugin";

declare module "ps-tree";

Hmm... I think I managed to get some vague insight into what's going on here. Seems like crossing the boundary of another project might be upsetting things a little.
