Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the JavaScript API and the existing custom-type definition and loading paths, then determine the expected external-file format and import behavior. Done means the API can import a set of custom types and ensure they are properly defined, with coverage for the supported input and failure cases.
