Run TypeScript via Node 24 type stripping instead of a build step#56
Merged
Conversation
Drop the vite build and run src/main.ts directly with node, which strips types natively on Node 24. tsconfig switches to noEmit typecheck-only with allowImportingTsExtensions and erasableSyntaxOnly; relative imports now carry explicit .ts extensions. Bump Node to 24 across engines, Dockerfile, CI, and .nvmrc, and remove the build step from the Dockerfile and CI.

Summary
Removes the bundler/compile step and runs the TypeScript entrypoint directly with Node 24's built-in type stripping.
package.json):dev/startnow runnode src/main.ts …directly; removed thebuild(vite) andcleanscripts and thevitedevDependency. Bumpedengines.nodeto>=24.0.0and@types/nodeto^24. Deletedvite.config.ts.tsconfig.json): switched tonoEmittypecheck-only; addedallowImportingTsExtensions(Node requires explicit.tsimport specifiers) anderasableSyntaxOnly(rejects TS syntax Node can't strip).tsc --noEmitremains the type gate../agent→./agent.ts).node:22→node:24; removed thepnpm buildstep.tests.yml): Node matrix22→24; removed the "Build project" step..nvmrc→24.How it works
LiveKit's worker forks a published
.jsloader that dynamicallyimport()s the agent file, so on Node 24 the agent's.tsis type-stripped automatically — noexecArgv/loader wiring needed.Verification
pnpm run typecheck/lint/format:checkall pass.node src/main.ts devboots fully: inference runners initialize in the forked subprocess, connect to LiveKit Cloud, and register the worker.
