fix(cli): resolve .js and extensionless relative imports to .ts under Node

[kristof-siket]

Problem

Under Node's native TypeScript type stripping, relative imports must carry the
.ts extension for Node to load them. This forces every consumer to either:

• Write import svc from './service.ts' (which TypeScript rejects unless
  allowImportingTsExtensions is set in the app's tsconfig), or
• Add allowImportingTsExtensions: true to their tsconfig.

Real failure: Prisma platform-generated setup PRs for stock Next.js repos
fail their first deploy because next build type-checks the root module.ts.
kristof-siket/nextjs-boilerplate PR #2,
job https://github.com/kristof-siket/nextjs-boilerplate/actions/runs/32114121175/job/95639731060:

./module.ts:2:27 Type error: An import path can only end with a '.ts' extension when 'allowImportingTsExtensions' is enabled.

The fix belongs in the CLI so consumers never have to edit their tsconfig, and
so generated modules can use ./service.js (the form that type-checks under
every moduleResolution without special options).

Solution

Resolution only. Native Node type stripping stays as-is; this PR only decides
which file to load.

packages/0-framework/3-tooling/cli/src/entry-resolution.ts adds a
synchronous Node resolve hook via node:module registerHooks (Node ≥22.15;
our engine floor is 22.18 — always present). The hook:

• Runs only under Node (Bun guard: typeof process.versions.bun === 'string')
• Retries only relative specifiers that Node could not resolve
  (ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND)
• Applies TypeScript's own documented mapping: strip the JS-family extension
  (.js, .mjs, .cjs), probe .ts / .mts / .tsx, then
  ./index.ts — first candidate on disk wins
• Leaves bare specifiers and package specifiers untouched
• Is registered once (idempotent) at the top of loadEntry so lazy imports
  inside the entry graph also benefit

Users can now write any of the three forms:

import svc from './service.ts';   // unchanged — Node resolves natively
import svc from './service.js';   // NEW: hook maps to service.ts
import svc from './service';      // NEW: hook maps to service.ts

allowImportingTsExtensions is no longer required.

Scope

This PR makes the CLI resolve relative imports the way TypeScript does —
./service, ./service.js, and ./service.ts all load service.ts — so a
module type-checks with a stock tsconfig and no allowImportingTsExtensions.
It is resolution only, under Node (Bun already behaves this way), and it leaves
how the module is executed unchanged: Node's native type stripping today, or a
transpiling runner such as tsx if one is adopted later — the hook works the same
either way. Choosing a runner is its own decision and does not block this fix.

Tests

Three node-spawn tests cover the new paths (real node process, exercises the
hook registration):

• .js extension import → resolves to .ts, exits 0
• extensionless import → resolves to .ts, exits 0
• genuinely missing file → hook exhausts all candidates, re-throws original
  ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND

Two in-process bun tests confirm the same fixtures work without the hook (Bun
resolves natively; registerEntryResolution is a no-op under Bun).

Full CLI suite: 242 tests pass.

Docs updated (required by user-facing-surface-changes.mdc)

• docs/guides/getting-started.md: removed allowImportingTsExtensions from
  the tsconfig block; added a paragraph listing all three valid import forms.
• docs/design/10-domains/deploy-cli.md § Runtime: one sentence on the Node
  resolve hook.
• skills/prisma-composer/SKILL.md: new "tsconfig and import specifiers"
  section with the minimal tsconfig (no allowImportingTsExtensions) and the
  import-form note.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Node deployments now support relative .js, .mjs, .cjs, and extensionless imports that resolve to TypeScript sources.
  • Supports .ts, .mts, .cts, .tsx, and index.ts resolution patterns.
  • Bun deployments continue to resolve supported imports natively.

• Documentation

  • Updated deployment, getting-started, and Prisma Composer guidance with supported import formats and runtime behavior.
  • Clarified that the TypeScript import-extension compiler option is no longer required.

• Bug Fixes

  • Missing modules continue to report their original resolution errors.

Walkthrough

The CLI registers a synchronous Node module-resolution hook before loading entries. The hook resolves relative .js, .mjs, .cjs, and extensionless imports to supported TypeScript sources. Bun uses native resolution and skips the hook. Tests cover Node and Bun loading, including missing-import errors. Documentation describes supported import forms and TypeScript configuration guidance.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 703c7

The PR changes how relative TypeScript imports are resolved at runtime, but the current implementation can select the wrong module or fail unexpectedly for certain extensions and directory candidates, while the documentation may overstate support for explicit .ts imports. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness and documentation issues to be addressed or explicitly accepted.

Add coverage for lazy imports.

The hook is intended to remain active for relative imports triggered after the entry starts loading. The added Node cases cover entry-graph imports, but they do not show a later import() regression case. Add a fixture that performs a lazy .js or extensionless import and assert that it resolves.
