Research direction
Start in Nodejs/Product/Nodejs/Workspace/TypeScriptActionProviderFactory.cs at the linked code near line 73, then compare the adjacent tsconfig handling that works. Reproduce the Open Folder scenario by right-clicking a TS file in Solution Explorer; done means the Build action is offered and the TypeScript action-provider code is reached.
