Description

I am following the steps of DefinitelyTyped.
It can successfully generate files. But I hope it can exit correctly, otherwise I have to press Ctrl+C.

input: npx dts-gen --dt --name XXXX --template module
output: Warning: Could not retrieve version/homepage information: HTTP Error 404: Not Found for https://registry.npmjs.org/XXXX

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with the shown npx dts-gen command and confirm that generation completes while the process remains blocked after the 404 warning. Locate the dts-gen CLI entry point and the version/homepage lookup, then add or update coverage so a missing package exits cleanly without requiring Ctrl+C.
