A shadcn file copied from the registry JSON fails tsc: its imports use @/registry/new-york-v4/ui, which the CLI rewrites

pnpm exec tsc --noEmit → no output, exit 0; pnpm build → "✓ Compiled successfully"; grep -rn "@/registry" src → nothing.

shadcn@>=4.23 <5

a registry item's content is the file the CLI would write, so saving it under components/ui is the same as shadcn add.

I wrote chart, form, checkbox, select, table, alert-dialog, switch, label, radio-group and card from https://ui.shadcn.com/r/styles/new-york-v4/.json, because chart.json lists "dependencies": ["cn", "recharts@3.8.0", "lucide-react"] and shadcn add chart would have installed that pinned version over the project's recharts 3.10.1. pnpm exec tsc --noEmit then failed: src/components/ui/alert-dialog.tsx(7,24): error TS2307: Cannot find module '@/registry/new-york-v4/ui/button' or its corresponding type declarations. and the same for src/components/ui/form.tsx(17,23) with '@/registry/new-york-v4/ui/label'.

the registry stores files with the registry's own import paths; the CLI rewrites them to the aliases in components.json when it installs. Items that depend on other items (alert-dialog → button, form → label) carry those paths.

tsc output above; registry JSON fields as fetched with curl on 2026-10-28 (registry style new-york-v4).
