feat: add tsconfig.json + consider using "AI" for coding

The Problem

This is a TS project.

This is a 50k LOC TS project.

This is a 50k LOC TS project for LLM personas.

This is a 50k LOC TS project for LLM personas without a tsconfig.json.

This is a 50k LOC TS project for LLM personas without a tsconfig.json that has grown to hundreds of any.

Suggested Fix

Add a standard issue tsconfig.json, lint to surface explicit any and install the required deps. Adjust CI and resolve all that'll surface now.

tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "lib": ["ESNext"],
    "target": "ESNext",
    "module": "Preserve",
    "moduleDetection": "force",
    "moduleResolution": "bundler",
    "allowImportingTsExtensions": true,
    "verbatimModuleSyntax": true,
    "types": ["bun"],
    "strict": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "noEmit": true,
    "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true,
    "noUncheckedIndexedAccess": true,
    "noImplicitOverride": true
  },
  "include": [
    "bin/**/*.ts",
    "browse/**/*.ts",
    "design/**/*.ts",
    "lib/**/*.ts",
    "scripts/**/*.ts",
    "test/**/*.ts"
  ],
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules",
    "browse/dist",
    "design/dist",
    "supabase/functions"
  ]
}

eslint.config.js

// eslint.config.js
import js from "@eslint/js";
import { defineConfig } from "eslint/config";
import tseslint from "typescript-eslint";

export default defineConfig(
  {
    ignores: [
      "node_modules/**",
      "browse/dist/**",
      "design/dist/**",
      "supabase/functions/**"
    ]
  },
  js.configs.recommended,
  tseslint.configs.recommended,
  {
    files: [
      "bin/**/*.ts",
      "browse/**/*.ts",
      "design/**/*.ts",
      "lib/**/*.ts",
      "scripts/**/*.ts",
      "test/**/*.ts"
    ],
    rules: {
      "@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any": "error"
    }
  }
);

package.json (additions)

{
  "scripts": {
    "typecheck": "tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit",
    "lint:ts": "eslint \"bin/**/*.ts\" \"browse/**/*.ts\" \"design/**/*.ts\" \"lib/**/*.ts\" \"scripts/**/*.ts\" \"test/**/*.ts\""
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "typescript": "^6.0.0",
    "@types/bun": "latest",
    "eslint": "^10.0.0",
    "typescript-eslint": "^8.0.0",
    "@eslint/js": "^10.0.0"
  }
}

Suggestion

Consider using an LLM (sometimes overhypingly called "AI") in your workflow. Any modern LLM going back to the Opus 4.1 days would have advised you to utilise the typesafety or go for plain JS. I understand that using LLMs in coding can be a bit scary, but these tools can provide some very helpful output, if one doesn't overdo it with excessive prompts that bloat the context window and of course audits all code the model outputs in full. Reading code, especially if not written by yourself, can be daunting, but it is important if you want to start using LLMs, that you continue to do so. Who knows what other issues could go unnoticed otherwise. Being an experienced developer, I am sure you will prefer sticking with writing everything yourself though.
