I think there’s some kind of bug in this task as I cannot access any other files except index.ts:

Without it, I can only log something in the console for the “restock” command because I cannot parametrize anything in storage…

Without it the only thing that comes to mind is using a generic like
<T extends StoredItem>

and then handle restock like this:

      case "restock":
        if (currentItem) {
          console.log(`\tRestocking: ${currentItem.contents}`);
          // Simulate restocking by purchasing more of the current item
          const restockedItem = purchaseItem(currentItem.contents, options.quantity);
          if (restockedItem) {
            currentItem = restockedItem; // Update currentItem with the restocked item
            console.log(`\tRestocked ${options.quantity} more ${currentItem.contents}.`);
          }
        } else {
          console.log(`\tNo item to restock.`);
        }
        break;

Not sure if this solution is what’s expected here…
