chore: adopt TypeScript 7 as baseline and document multi-version compatibility #47

Description

Description

TypeScript 7 (GA July 2026) ships a native Go-based compiler with 8–12× faster builds, shared-memory multithreading, and --checkers N for configurable parallelization. We should:

  1. Bump the repo's engines constraint to accept TypeScript 7
  2. Update CI to run tests against TS 7 by default
  3. Document the multi-version compatibility strategy in the README and the web app

Why

  • TypeScript 7 is now GA and is the recommended version for new projects
  • The 10× speed improvement makes deep type-checking in CI practically free
  • Adopting TS 7 early positions the library as modern and fast-to-test

Acceptance criteria

  • engines constraint updated to include >=7.0.0
  • CI runs on TypeScript 7
  • README documents the minimum supported TypeScript version
  • Web app mentions TS 7 compatibility

Risks

  • Low. TS 7 has no breaking changes for the type system — existing tests should pass unchanged.
