The completion system was crashing when trying to get completion entry details for JSDoc@import statements. Consider:

/**@import * as t from './types.ts' */import{preventDefault}from"./other-file.js";p// <-- requesting completions here would crash

The error was:

Debug Failure. Invalid cast. The supplied value [object Object] did not pass the test 'isTypeKeywordToken'.

Root Cause:
The completion system tries to promote type-only imports to regular imports when they are used in value contexts. For JSDoc@import statements, this promotion logic incorrectly assumed the import had atype keyword that could be found and removed, but JSDoc imports don't have this structure - they are inherently type-only.

Solution:
Added a check inpromoteImportClause function to skip type keyword deletion for JSDoc imports:

functionpromoteImportClause(importClause:ImportClause){// JSDoc imports are inherently type-only and don't have a removable 'type' keywordif(!isJSDocImportTag(importClause.parent)){changes.delete(sourceFile,getTypeKeywordOfTypeOnlyImport(importClause,sourceFile));}// ... rest of function}

This allows JSDoc imports to be safely handled during the completion promotion process without attempting to remove a non-existenttype keyword.

Fixes#62027.
