Tianyi Cui 07f4047ff0 Use explicit ts specifiers for declarations
Restore explicit .ts relative specifiers in source and enable rewriteRelativeImportExtensions so emitted JS uses .js while declarations keep explicit .ts specifiers. Add a NodeNext declaration-consumer gate to prevent extensionless declaration regressions.

# RFC: TSC-first build and one tsconfig
Status: implemented (accepted 2026-06-20)
<!-- XXX: legacy ADR/RFC body format, not yet normalized to a unified RFC template. -->
## Context
The current TypeScript build and typecheck setup had these issues:
- `build` used `tsc` to transform `.ts` to `.d.ts` files for packages under `packages/<group>/<pkg>` and `vendor/*`, and then used `tsdown` to transform `.ts` to bundled `.js` files. This made two tools do TypeScript transform.
- `typecheck` tended to validate packages, vendor source, examples, tests, and scripts through one root typecheck config.
The goal is to make build and typecheck use matching tsconfig boundaries and TypeScript resolution/transform behavior. Build should generate `.js`, `.d.ts`, `.js.map`, and `.d.ts.map` through one compiler and config, so publish output and type validation stay consistent.
Validation found several concrete technical issues and possible routes:
- `tsdown` uses `oxc` to transform TypeScript, which is not the same behavior as `tsc`.
- Bundled `.d.ts` emitted by `tsdown` conflicts with Cordis' internal relative module augmentation shape.
- The tsc output is affected by `allowImportingTsExtensions`, so we need to ensure that generated `.js` files do not import `.ts` files and generated `.d.ts` files do not contain extensionless relative imports. Therefore, in-package relative imports use explicit `.ts` specifiers in TypeScript source and `rewriteRelativeImportExtensions` rewrites those specifiers to `.js` in emitted JS.
- Bundled `.js` emitted by `tsdown` is not the same behavior as per-file `.js` emitted by `tsc -b`, such as decorator transform behavior.
- `vendor/*/src`, examples, tests, and scripts cannot all be plain-included in one root strict program.
- Directly typechecking `vendor/*/src` under the root strict config triggers many type errors outside this project's ownership.
- Package dependencies under `packages/*/*` on `vendor` are resolved to the `vendor/*/lib` for different tsconfig strictness.
## Decision
In-package relative imports use explicit `.ts` specifiers.
`pnpm run build` is a two-stage build:
- Stage 1: `tsc -b tsconfig.build.json` emits per-module `.js`, declarations `.d.ts`, JS sourcemaps `.js.map`, and declaration sourcemaps `.d.ts.map` into each package's `lib/types`. This is the authoritative TypeScript compilation result. For publish we keep `.d.ts` / `.d.ts.map` and ignore `.js` / `.js.map`.
- The build project uses the project-reference graph that `tsc -b` compiles. For example, root `tsconfig.build.json` references package and vendor tsconfigs. It validates and emits package/vendor build results.
- Stage 2: a bundler reads the emitted JS under `lib/types` and writes the bundled runtime entry as `lib/index.js` or `lib/index.mjs` (follow current behavior). This stage is bundling only. It must not read TypeScript source or emit declarations.
`tsdown` is no longer the owner of TypeScript compilation or declaration output.
`pnpm run typecheck` runs build mode over the root `tsconfig.json`.
- The root `tsconfig.json` is the single development/typecheck project. It typechecks examples, tests, and scripts with `noEmit`, and validates package/vendor source through references.
- Referenced package/vendor projects keep the same emit behavior as build, so typecheck can refresh their `lib/types` outputs instead of using a separate no-emit graph. Project-specific strictness changes live in the owning `packages/*/*/tsconfig.json` or `vendor/*/tsconfig.json`.
The command orchestration shape is:
```sh
pnpm run build:
tsc -b tsconfig.build.json
tsdown
pnpm run verify-node-next-types:
tsx scripts/verify-node-next-types.ts
pnpm run typecheck:
tsc -b tsconfig.json
```
`pnpm run demo:*` still runs `src` directly through tsx and root paths, without a compile step.
## Consequences
Build responsibilities are clearer:
- Each module under `packages/<group>/<pkg>` and `vendor/*` has one local tsconfig for build, typecheck, and tools that run source directly, such as `tsx` and `vitest`.
- The `build` command uses `tsconfig.build.json`. `tsc -b` owns the publishable per-module `.js` and `.d.ts` output, and the bundler owns only `lib/index.*`.
- `lib/types/*.d.ts` and `.d.ts.map` are the publish declaration output.
- `lib/types/*.d.ts` uses explicit `.ts` relative specifiers, which TypeScript's NodeNext/Node16 resolver maps to sibling `.d.ts` files.
- `lib/types/*.js` is only a bundler input and must not be used as a runtime entry or public import target.
- `lib/index.*` is the publish runtime output and is generated by the bundler, currently `tsdown`.
- `pnpm run verify-node-next-types` scans built declarations for extensionless relative specifiers, then typechecks a temporary external ESM consumer with `moduleResolution: "NodeNext"` against the built `types`/`exports` surface, so declaration specifier regressions fail before publish.
- The `typecheck` command uses `tsconfig.json`. Examples, tests, and scripts are checked by the root no-emit project, while packages and vendor modules keep the same emit behavior as `build`. Package and vendor source stays behind project-reference boundaries.
The Cordis vendor copy now has one more type-structure divergence from upstream. During upstream sync, that divergence must be reapplied or explicitly retired.
