Follow-up sweep for #852, invited by the triage note on #855:

About 25 other registry entries use the same interface Window extends XApi {} shape with required members, so the collision class stays open. A follow-up sweep would close it.

#855 fixed the GTM entry by narrowing which members reach the global Window. This closes the class by changing the shape that makes a collision catastrophic in the first place.

The defect class

interface Window extends XApi {} is the part that turns a routine member collision into an unsuppressable failure. Interface declarations merge, so when any other package declares one of the same members, the merged Window stops satisfying the extends clause this package added — and TypeScript reports TS2430 at every Window augmentation in the program, including the consumer's own. Those are nowhere near the cause, and skipLibCheck cannot silence them because they are the consumer's own .ts files.

Declaring the same members inline removes the clause that can fail:

-  interface Window extends PayPalApi {}
+  interface Window {
+    paypal: PayPalApi['paypal']
+  }

A genuine collision then surfaces as TS2687/TS2717 on the two conflicting declarations, which are both in .d.ts files and therefore fall under skipLibCheck like any other dependency-vs-dependency disagreement — diagnosable, and pointing at the actual cause.

This is not hypothetical — there is a second live instance

@paypal/paypal-js (the official PayPal SDK types, and a direct devDependency of this repo) declares:

// @paypal/paypal-js@10.1.0 types/index.d.ts
declare global {
  interface Window { paypal?: PayPalNamespace | null }
}

The registry declared paypal: PayPalV6Namespace — required, and a different namespace type. Same two stacked incompatibilities as @gtm-support/core. Verified against the real package, strict, skipLibCheck: true, with a consumer that augments Window from a .ts file:

tsgo 7.0.0-dev tsc 6.0.3
before TS2430 at consumer.ts ✅ clean
after ✅ clean ✅ clean

Correction to the framing in #855

The triage note on #855 said:

tsc is not silent, contrary to the PR table. TS 5.9 reports the same TS2430 once the consumer augments Window from a .ts file. Only a .d.ts-only conflict is hidden by skipLibCheck.

I could not reproduce that, and measured the opposite. On TS 5.9.3 and 6.0.3 the TS2430 anchors to lib.dom.d.ts — the primary Window declaration — so skipLibCheck: true suppresses it regardless of whether the consumer augments Window from a .ts file, a .d.ts file, or with its own extends clause. It surfaces pre-TS7 only with skipLibCheck: false. On tsgo the error is instead attributed to every augmentation site, including the consumer's own .ts files, which is why skipLibCheck stops helping. That matches the original report in #852.

The conclusion still holds, but for a different reason, and it is worth stating precisely because it bounds what this PR fixes:

  • Pre-TS7, the foreign optional declaration silently wins the merge, so consumers reading window.paypal get TS2722/TS18048 "possibly undefined" at each read site. This PR does not change that — it is inherent to declaration merging, and it is equally true before and after.
  • On TS7, the collision additionally becomes an unsuppressable TS2430 at every consumer Window augmentation. That is what this PR eliminates.

Happy to be shown the configuration behind the original note if I've missed one — the repro is four files and I can push it as a fixture.

Scope

20 entries, all in packages/script/src/runtime/registry/: ahrefs-analytics, calendly, clarity, cloudflare-web-analytics, google-adsense, google-recaptcha, hotjar, intercom, leaflet, linkedin-insight, matomo-analytics, meta-pixel, paypal, reddit-pixel, segment, snapchat-pixel, vimeo-player, x-pixel, youtube-player — plus google-tag-manager, because #855's Pick<GoogleTagManagerApi, 'google_tag_manager'> narrowed the surface but kept the extends clause, so that entry still carried the shape for its remaining member.

The exact figure is 19 unfixed entries rather than ~25. The other Window augmentations in the registry (bing-uet, crisp, databuddy-analytics, deskcrew, fathom-analytics, lemon-squeezy, maplibre, mixpanel-analytics, plausible-analytics, posthog, rybbit-analytics, speedcurve, tiktok-pixel, umami-analytics, usercentrics, vercel-analytics) already declare members inline, so they cannot produce TS2430 and are left untouched.

Semver — your call

As written, this is not a type break. Every member keeps its exact type and its exact required/optional modifier; Window['fbq'] and friends resolve to what they resolved to before. That is the reason I did not port #855's Pick<> literally: dropping members across 19 entries would be the broad break the triage note anticipated, and unlike GTM's dataLayer — reached through (window as any)[dataLayerName] because its name is configurable — most of these members are read off bare window by the registries themselves, so removing them would also break this package's own build.

There is a stronger version available if you want it: for entries whose member is genuinely not guaranteed to exist under that name, drop it from the global Window GTM-style and let the useScript*() proxy be the only typed access path. That is a break for anyone reading window.<prop> directly, and it is much broader than it was for GTM alone. I have deliberately not made that call — say the word and I will do it as a follow-up, behind whatever version you want.

Worth noting either way: segment puts six very generic names on the global Windowtrack, page, identify, group, alias, reset. Those are the most likely of the whole registry to collide with something. This PR does not change that, but it does mean a collision on them no longer takes the consumer's build down at a distance.

Tests

Extends test/types/global-window.test-d.ts (the file the bot pushed onto #855) rather than adding a harness:

  • every swept member is pinned to its API interface with toEqualTypeOf, so the rewrite stays type-identical to the extends form it replaced — this is the guard on the "not a type break" claim above;
  • a drift guard asserts Exclude<keyof XApi, keyof Window> is never for each entry, since inline lists no longer track the API automatically the way extends did. GoogleTagManagerApi is exempted, as dataLayer is deliberately not global per fix(gtm): don't declare dataLayer on the global Window #855. Verified to fail when a member is removed from a Window declaration.

Type-level assertions cannot fail on the pre-fix code here — that is precisely what "type-identical" means — so the invariant itself is guarded by test/unit/global-window-augmentation.test.ts, which scans the registry sources and asserts none declares Window via an extends clause. It fails on main listing all 20 offenders, and passes on this branch.

Verification

pnpm lint, pnpm typecheck, and pnpm vitest run --project typecheck --project unit (78 files, 941 tests) all pass. Not run locally: e2e (needs browsers) and build.

Follow-up sweep for nuxt#852, invited by the triage note on nuxt#855.

`interface Window extends XApi {}` is what turns a routine member collision
into an unsuppressable failure. Interface declarations merge, so when another
package declares one of the same members, the merged `Window` stops satisfying
the `extends` clause this package added, and TypeScript reports TS2430 at every
`Window` augmentation in the program — including the consumer's own, which are
nowhere near the cause and which `skipLibCheck` cannot silence.

Declaring the same members inline removes the clause that can fail. A genuine
collision then surfaces as TS2687/TS2717 on the two conflicting declarations,
both in `.d.ts` files, and so falls under `skipLibCheck` like any other
dependency-vs-dependency disagreement.

Covers the 19 remaining entries plus `google-tag-manager`, whose nuxt#855 fix
narrowed the exposed surface but kept the `extends` clause for the member it
still declares. `@paypal/paypal-js` declaring `paypal?: PayPalNamespace | null`
is a live second instance of the collision, verified against the real package.

Every member keeps its exact type and required/optional modifier, so this is
not a type break.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime registry declarations replace global Window interface inheritance with explicitly typed properties from each registry API. Existing additional globals remain declared where applicable. Type-level tests verify API member compatibility, and a unit test rejects registry augmentations that use Window extends.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 99a94

The change is broadly mergeable, but the Meta Pixel global declaration should preserve the existing callMethod type for projects using exactOptionalPropertyTypes; otherwise those consumers may encounter a bounded TypeScript compatibility issue.
