Could not find a declaration file for module '@algolia/client-search' in algoliasearch v5.2.2

Could not find a declaration file for module '@algolia/client-search' in algoliasearch v5.2.2

What is going on

After upgrading to algoliasearch 5.2.2, TypeScript reports Could not find a declaration file for module '@algolia/client-search'. Downgrading to 5.1.1 makes the error go away. The type declarations that shipped with 5.1.1 are missing from the 5.2.2 package.

What actually works

This was a packaging regression in 5.2.2: the built type declarations were not included in the published package. Fix: upgrade to algoliasearch@5.2.5 or later, where the declarations are restored (confirmed by multiple reporters and by the AreTheTypesWrong check passing). The maintainers also added attw and publint to CI to catch regressions. Downgrading to 5.1.1 is only a temporary workaround.
