It would be really nice if the output type of my pulumi program could be preserved on the stack object's outputs property, or in some other way I could make make a static guarantee about outputs returned. (thread)

My pulumi program (`pulumiProgram`) has the type `(string, string) =&gt; Promise&lt;pulumi.Output&lt;DocOutputs&gt;&gt;`, where `DocOutput` is a simple object I previously serialized to JSON (its used as a stack output). I've shoved that into `InlineProgramArgs`:

```  const args: InlineProgramArgs = {
    program: pulumiProgram
  };```
It would be awsome if `stack.outputs` had the type `DocOutputs` after the below:

```  const stack = await LocalWorkspace.createOrSelectStack(args, { workDir: "." }); ```
Or if `upRes.outputs` had that type after updating:

```  const upRes = await stack.up({ onOutput: <http://console.info|console.info> });```


Understandably that's hard as `OutputMap` has special structure

Agree that the weak typing here leaves something to be desired. It may be possible to infer the type from the program, but I'd need to tinker with it. Would you mind opening an issue with what you described above?
