JSDoc: @inheritDoc disregards optionality of parameters from parent class method

Code

A conceptual example of JSDoc-annotated ES6 classes I'm generating d.ts definitions for

class Base {
  /**
   * @abstract
   * @param {Array<import("./Layer.js").default>} [opt_array] Array of layers (to be
   *     modified in place).
   * @return {Array<import("./Layer.js").default>} Array of layers.
   */
  getLayersArray(opt_array) {
    return abstract();
  }
}

class Derived extends Base {
  /**
   * @inheritDoc
   */
  getLayersArray(opt_array) {
      return [];
  }
}

Expected behavior:

TypeScript to transpile this to something resembling this

declare class Base {
    /**
     * @abstract
     * @param {Array<import("./Layer.js").default>} [opt_array] Array of layers (to be
     *     modified in place).
     * @return {Array<import("./Layer.js").default>} Array of layers.
     */
    getLayersArray(opt_array?: any[]): any[];
}
declare class Derived extends Base {
    /**
     * @inheritDoc
     */
    getLayersArray(opt_array?: any): any[];
}

Actual behavior:

The optionality specifier is lost on Derived.getLayersArray

declare class Base {
    /**
     * @abstract
     * @param {Array<import("./Layer.js").default>} [opt_array] Array of layers (to be
     *     modified in place).
     * @return {Array<import("./Layer.js").default>} Array of layers.
     */
    getLayersArray(opt_array?: any[]): any[];
}
declare class Derived extends Base {
    /**
     * @inheritDoc
     */
    getLayersArray(opt_array: any): any[];
}

Related Issues:

EDIT: In the original ES6 example, the class Derived didn't actually extend Base which led to the possibility I may have submitted an invalid report. Fixing the code sample and re-running the playground with the updated example ES6 code showed the problem to still persist. Code sample in this issue and playground link have been updated.
