Research direction

Start with the linked TypeScript Playground reproduction and compare the deprecated getBoolean property on ApiDict with the mapped Api type. Trace how JSDoc is carried through mapped types; done means the mapped property shows the same deprecation warning as the original property, with regression coverage added where the compiler tests this behavior.
