Description

Plugin works fine for a period of time, but after working for a while and changing/saving files, I notice all of the sudden some of my class names and other namespaces cannot be found. I can't navigate to them with F12 (GoTo) and when I try to build a file, the compiler comes back with errors saying "Cannot find name InsertSomeNameHere"

There appears to be no errors in the console once this happens. The only way to fix the issues is to shut down SublimeText and reopen it. After reopening Sublime, everything works as expecting and I can build all files that were open and also GoTo any name as normal. Some random time later, this happens again and I have to shutdown and restart the editor again.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure in Sublime Text after repeatedly changing and saving TypeScript files, then compare build and F12 GoTo behavior before and after restarting the editor. Done means the plugin continues to resolve names and build files without requiring Sublime Text to be restarted.
