Not sure I understand. Unions are already handled. isUndefinedReturnType() only matches exact : undefined, so : string | undefined skips autofix.

I'm not sure I understand either.
Unions are already handled.
You mean this is handled?
const foo = (): string | undefined => {
if (foo) {
return undefined;
}
return 'string'
}
I didn't see related logic.
