fix(cli): load capacitor.config.ts on TypeScript 7 - #3276
Conversation
TypeScript 7 dropped transpileModule/ModuleKind from the default export. Capacitor still resolves typescript from the project, so commands like bundle zip fail with Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'CommonJS') and report a missing config file. When the project compiler no longer has the classic API, load the config with the CLI's own TypeScript instead of handing it to Capacitor. Fixes Cap-go#3265

- Line 163: Add test coverage for the native-import recovery path in
loadConfigTarget by adding a fixture that causes requireTS() to fail while
remaining loadable through native ESM, then assert that loadConfigTarget()
returns the expected appId. Keep the fixture focused on exercising the
dynamicImport fallback.

Load the CLI TypeScript fallback at runtime instead of bundling it, which embedded /home/runner/work/ paths in dist. Narrow loadConfigCap fallback to TS7-only projects, gate native .ts import on Bun/Node 22+, and add a native-import recovery test for requireTS failures.

TypeScript 7 projects already return early via loadConfigTarget, so the catch fallback duplicated that path and hid real Capacitor errors. Node 20 keeps using requireTS with the CLI runtime TypeScript dependency; native import recovery stays gated to Bun and Node.js 22+. Co-authored-by: Martin DONADIEU <martindonadieu@gmail.com>

Summary
Fixes #3265
TypeScript 7 no longer ships
transpileModule/ModuleKindonrequire("typescript"). Capacitor's config loader still resolves TypeScript from the project, socapgo bundle zipdies with:cap syncalready works on Capacitor 8.5 because it falls back to native type stripping. This CLI was still going through the old path, even though it already depends on TypeScript 6.When the project compiler doesn't have the classic API, load
capacitor.config.tswith the CLI's own TypeScript instead of handing it to Capacitor. If that still fails, try a native ESM import (same idea as Capacitor 8.5).Test plan
