Converts scripts/ from CommonJS to ESM.

Why. typescript/no-require-imports fires on every file in scripts/. #309 silenced it, since import/no-commonjs and unicorn/prefer-module were already off. This follows the rule instead: four fewer suppressions, and scripts/ matches the rest of the repo (VueApp, eslint.config.mjs, vite.config.ts are already ESM).

Scope. Root package.json has no "type" field, so setting it there would flip the web/wwwroot/js/*.js browser files too. A nested scripts/package.json with {"type": "module"} confines the change to scripts/.

The first commit fixes pre-existing oxlint errors in scripts/, kept separate so the migration stays reviewable.

Hand-worked cases (the rest is mechanical requireimport across 34 files):

Case Fix
__dirname (21) import.meta.dirname
require.main === module (2) process.argv[1] && import.meta.url === pathToFileURL(...).href. The guard matters because process.argv[1] is undefined when a module is imported without an entry script, and clear-cache now does exactly that
require.resolve (1) import.meta.resolve + fileURLToPath
scripts/.eslintrc.js deleted; dead since eslint moved to flat config

Also fixes a pre-existing bug found in review: launch-find-viper.js used fs and path without importing them.

Pull request overview

This PR migrates the repository’s Node-based build/lint/helper scripts under scripts/ from CommonJS to ESM without changing the root package to "type": "module", by introducing a nested scripts/package.json module scope. This aligns the scripts with the typescript/no-require-imports lint rule and simplifies the lint configuration accordingly.

Changes:

  • Add scripts/package.json with "type": "module" to scope ESM to scripts/ only.
  • Mechanically convert scripts/**/*.js and scripts/lib/**/*.js from require/module.exports to import/export, including ESM entrypoint guards and relative .js specifiers.
  • Update lint config and npm clear-cache script to reflect ESM usage.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The scripts package is now configured as ESM. Script imports, exports, path resolution, entry-point checks, and the clear-cache command were migrated from CommonJS. Lint orchestration also separates frontend results from other linter results.

Changes

Scripts ESM migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
ESM package and library foundation
.oxlintrc.json, package.json, scripts/package.json, scripts/.eslintrc.js, scripts/lib/*
The scripts package is marked as ESM. Shared libraries use ESM imports and named exports. CommonJS-specific lint exceptions and the nested ESLint configuration were removed.
Operational script conversion
scripts/audit-*.js, scripts/build-dotnet.js, scripts/jenkins-status.js, scripts/launch-*.js, scripts/manage-mailpit.js, scripts/merge-to-dev.js, scripts/run-*.js, scripts/stop-dev-services.js, scripts/test-dotnet.js, scripts/verify-build.js
Operational scripts use ESM imports, explicit local .js extensions, import.meta.dirname, and ESM entry-point checks.
Lint and precommit conversion
scripts/lint-any.js, scripts/lint-staged-*.js, scripts/precommit*.js
Lint and precommit scripts use ESM imports and paths. Frontend lint results are combined with the remaining asynchronous linter results.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 74a40

The ESM migration leaves two error handlers vulnerable to masking failures and two scripts vulnerable to import-time errors when no entry-script path is present. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to normalize rejection values and guard process.argv[1].

stringify the unknown rejection value with String(error) instead of accessing
error.message, matching the sibling lint scripts and ensuring null or undefined
errors do not mask the original failure.

Apply the same fix in `@scripts/jenkins-status.js` around lines 158 - 163: The
same unknown rejection value is read through .message in this handler.

In `@scripts/manage-mailpit.js`:
- Around line 756-758: Guard process.argv[1] before passing it to pathToFileURL
in the entry-point checks for scripts/manage-mailpit.js lines 756-758 and
scripts/stop-dev-services.js lines 266-268, so imported modules do not throw
during evaluation; retain the existing self-execution behavior when an entry
script is present.

Surfaced by staging every script at once: pre-commit lints only staged
files, so these never blocked a commit before.

- void the entry-point promise calls (no-void is off for scripts/)
- String(error) in catch-block template literals
- annotate .catch rejection params as unknown via JSDoc
- Reflect.deleteProperty instead of a computed delete
- Object.assign instead of spreading caller-supplied options, with the
  conflicting prefer-object-spread warning disabled inline
- hoist the synchronous frontend linters out of Promise.all, which never
  awaited them and made the adjacent concurrency comment inaccurate

- add scripts/package.json with type:module so only scripts/ switches
  module system, leaving web/wwwroot browser files untouched
- require -> import across 34 files, module.exports -> named exports
- __dirname -> import.meta.dirname, require.resolve -> import.meta.resolve
  via fileURLToPath, require.main -> import.meta.url comparison
- guard process.argv[1] in the entry-point checks, since it is undefined
  when a module is imported without an entry script and pathToFileURL

- import fs and path in launch-find-viper, which referenced both without
  importing them and so threw whenever it found the process
- drop the obsolete CommonJS lint exemptions, including the
  no-require-imports one added on the parent branch
- delete scripts/.eslintrc.js, dead since eslint moved to flat config
