Research direction

Start by reproducing the TypeScript error at redisClient.json.get(key) with Node.js 20.11.0, Redis 7.2.4, and node-redis 4.6.15. Inspect the RedisJSON.GET type definitions and reduce the example to a minimal case; done means the reported type-instantiation error is resolved and the relevant usage remains correctly typed.
