TypeScript issues with Electron 15.x and 2.0.1

Receiving build errors in my electron project. It appears as though there are errors in the types files between the native electron resources and this expansion lib mappings. Anyone else seeing this issue, or any guidance on correcting the issue?

(ex1)

Error: node_modules/@electron/remote/index.d.ts:8:43 - error TS2339: Property 'ClientRequest' does not 
exist on type 'typeof CrossProcessExports'.

8 export var ClientRequest: typeof Electron.ClientRequest;

(ex2)

Error: node_modules/@electron/remote/index.d.ts:10:41 - error TS2339: Property 'CommandLine' does not
 exist on type 'typeof CrossProcessExports'.

10 export var CommandLine: typeof Electron.CommandLine;

The following replacement for index.d.ts appears to resolve the issue for me while also working for Electron 14.x, but I’m not familiar enough with the @electron/remote project to have confidence that this is the appropriate fix for a pull request:

import * as Electron from ‘electron’;

Downgraded to electron 14.1.0 and project builds correctly. You appear to have an undocumented compatibility issue with Electron 15.x.
