Summary

A few weeks ago we changed our tsconfig.json file to adopt TypeScript 5.0 (#1672) and in doing so we inadvertently enabled the removeComments option from the compilerOptions. This caused the docstrings to be stripped from the built output.

We should set the option back to false so that comments are kept.

Why is this needed?

So that customers can get info and examples about methods in their IDEs when using Powertools.

Which area does this relate to?

Automation

Acknowledgment
