As file system operations may be slow, it would be nice to convert any fs.*Sync calls to their promise/async counterparts when appropriate, to avoid holding up any main thread, and to enable multiple file operations running at once

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the TypeScript code that uses fs.*Sync calls, then determine which operations can use promise or async counterparts without changing behavior; done means the appropriate synchronous calls are converted and relevant tests still pass.
