LSP: Uncached or missing @types/node when importing node:process

I'd like to understand better what's going on here in case it's a potential bug in node interop:
// test.ts
import process from 'node:process';
console.log("arch is", process.arch);

The LSP flags
node:process
with
Uncached or missing npm package: @types/node
. Running
deno cache test.ts
does not change anything, but if I manually run the same commands in a
deno repl
, I notice a status message appear after running the import:
Download https://registry.npmjs.org/@types/node
. After doing this in the repl, then I can reload the LSP and it no longer flags this line.

It appears to me that the repl knows that it needs to download
@types/node
, but
deno cache
does not. I don't believe I need to explicitly import
@types/node
in my
test.ts
, because it executes the same way whether or not I have cached the types using the repl workaround (I tested this by trashing
~/Library/Caches/deno
a few times).
