cli/tsc crashes with Uncaught TypeError

Using latest Deno (1.32.4), this only happens on certain files, but it effectively means that I cannot do type checking with Deno now. The error (somewhat opaque since this looks like generated code):

error: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'kind')
    at <anonymous> (internal:deno_tsc/tsc/00_typescript.js:19111:18)

appears to be happening on the first line of this function:

  function getModifierFlagsWorker(node, includeJSDoc, alwaysIncludeJSDoc) {
    if (node.kind >= 0 /* FirstToken */ && node.kind <= 162 /* LastToken */) {
      return 0 /* None */;
    }
    if (!(node.modifierFlagsCache & 536870912 /* HasComputedFlags */)) {
      node.modifierFlagsCache = getSyntacticModifierFlagsNoCache(node) | 536870912 /* HasComputedFlags */;
    }
    if (includeJSDoc && !(node.modifierFlagsCache & 4096 /* HasComputedJSDocModifiers */) && (alwaysIncludeJSDoc || isInJSFile(node)) && node.parent) {
      node.modifierFlagsCache |= getJSDocModifierFlagsNoCache(node) | 4096 /* HasComputedJSDocModifiers */;
    }
    return node.modifierFlagsCache & ~(536870912 /* HasComputedFlags */ | 4096 /* HasComputedJSDocModifiers */);
  }

  function getModifierFlagsWorker(node, includeJSDoc, alwaysIncludeJSDoc) {
    if (node.kind >= 0 /* FirstToken */ && node.kind <= 162 /* LastToken */) {
      return 0 /* None */;
    }
    if (!(node.modifierFlagsCache & 536870912 /* HasComputedFlags */)) {
      node.modifierFlagsCache = getSyntacticModifierFlagsNoCache(node) | 536870912 /* HasComputedFlags */;
    }
    if (includeJSDoc && !(node.modifierFlagsCache & 4096 /* HasComputedJSDocModifiers */) && (alwaysIncludeJSDoc || isInJSFile(node)) && node.parent) {
      node.modifierFlagsCache |= getJSDocModifierFlagsNoCache(node) | 4096 /* HasComputedJSDocModifiers */;
    }
    return node.modifierFlagsCache & ~(536870912 /* HasComputedFlags */ | 4096 /* HasComputedJSDocModifiers */);
  }

it's probably some syntax error in my code at the moment that's causing the crash. If I git stash the error goes away ok I figured it out. Seems like it is a bug in the cli/tsc code. If I use Parameters<typeof someValue["someProperty"]>[1] in a function's parameters, it crashes. However, if I assign that type to a type alias (e.g. type Param1 = Parameters<typeof someValue["someProperty"]>[1]) then use that alias in the function's parameters, no crash. Not too bad, makes my code more readable anyway.

Can you share the project this is happening in? cc @dsherret Oh I see you figured it out already. May be worth opening an issue in the TypeScript repo
