fix: add TS_NODE_COMPILER_OPTIONS override for mocha test scripts

bennypowers · bennypowers · commit 7eb223dcc08e · 2026-03-18T15:27:05.000+02:00
With module:nodenext, ts-node fails on untyped CJS modules (like hanbi).
Override moduleResolution to 'node' for test execution via mocha+ts-node.
This is temporary — PR2 migrates all tests to node:test which doesn't
need ts-node.
