Update ESM migration plan with findings and workarounds

Add detailed plan for migrating to moduleResolution node16/nodenext with
file extensions in imports.

This plan addresses:
- #154 - Upgrade moduleResolution from node to node16/nodenext
- #110 - Published ESM code has imports without file extensions
- #64 - expressions: ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND attempting to run example demo script
- #146 - Can not import @actions/workflow-parser

The migration will:
1. Upgrade TypeScript to 5.7+
2. Enable rewriteRelativeImportExtensions
3. Add .ts extensions to all relative imports
4. Update JSON imports to use import attributes

Implementation will begin after pending PRs are merged to avoid conflicts.

+# ESM Migration Plan: Add File Extensions to Imports
+
+## Overview
+
+This document outlines the plan to migrate from TypeScript's deprecated `"moduleResolution": "node"` (node10) to `"moduleResolution": "node16"` or `"nodenext"`. This change is necessary because the published ESM packages have extensionless imports that don't work correctly in modern ESM environments.
+
+## Issues Fixed
+
+This migration will resolve the following issues:
+
+- **#154** - Upgrade `moduleResolution` from `node` to `node16` or `nodenext` in tsconfig
+- **#110** - Published ESM code has imports without file extensions
+- **#64** - expressions: ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND attempting to run example demo script  
+- **#146** - Can not import `@actions/workflow-parser`
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+### Current State
+
+All packages use `"moduleResolution": "node"`:
+
+| Package | moduleResolution | TypeScript |
+|---------|------------------|------------|
+| expressions | `"node"` | ^4.7.4 |
+| workflow-parser | `"node"` | ^4.8.4 |
+| languageservice | `"node"` | ^4.8.4 |
+| languageserver | `"node"` | ^4.8.4 |
+| browser-playground | `"Node16"` ✅ | ^4.9.4 |
+
+This causes TypeScript to emit code like:
+```javascript
+// Published to npm - INVALID ESM
+export { Expr } from "./ast";  // Missing .js extension!
+```
+
+### Why This Fails
+
+ESM in Node.js 12+ **requires** explicit file extensions. When users try to import these packages:
+
+```javascript
+// User's code
+import { Expr } from "@actions/expressions";
+```
+
+Node.js fails with:
+```
+Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module '.../node_modules/@actions/expressions/dist/ast'
+```
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+### Option A: TypeScript 5.7+ with `rewriteRelativeImportExtensions` (Recommended)
+
+TypeScript 5.7 introduced a new compiler option that automatically rewrites `.ts` extensions to `.js` in output:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "compilerOptions": {
+    "moduleResolution": "node16",  // or "nodenext"
+    "rewriteRelativeImportExtensions": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Source code:**
+```typescript
+import { Expr } from "./ast.ts";
+```
+
+**Compiled output:**
+```javascript
+export { Expr } from "./ast.js";
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+- Source uses `.ts` extensions (matches actual files)
+- Works with Deno (which requires `.ts` extensions)
+- TypeScript automatically transforms to `.js`
+- Modern, forward-looking approach
+
+**Cons:**
+- Requires TypeScript 5.7+
+- Relatively new feature
+- **BUG:** See "Known Issues" section below
+
+### Option B: Manual `.js` Extensions
+
+Use `.js` extensions in source TypeScript files:
+
+```typescript
+import { Expr } from "./ast.js";  // Points to .ts file, but use .js extension
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+- Works with TypeScript 4.7+ (with node16 moduleResolution)
+- Well-established pattern
+- No post-processing needed
+
+**Cons:**
+- Confusing - `.js` files don't exist at write time
+- Doesn't work with Deno out of the box
+
+### Recommendation
+
+**Use Option A** with workarounds for known issues (see below).
+
+---
+
+## Known Issues and Workarounds (December 2025)
+
+### 1. TypeScript Version Conflicts in Monorepo
+
+**Problem:** The root `node_modules/typescript` was version 4.9.5 (pulled in by `ts-node` and `tsutils` dependencies), while workspace packages specified `^5.8.3`.
+
+**Symptoms:** 
+- `npx tsc --version` showed 4.9.5
+- `require('typescript').version` in ts-jest showed 5.8.3
+- Confusing build failures
+
+**Solution:** Add npm overrides in root `package.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "overrides": {
+    "typescript": "5.8.3"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. ts-jest Compatibility with TypeScript 5.9+
+
+**Problem:** ts-jest 29.4.6 uses `typescript.JSDocParsingMode.ParseAll` which doesn't exist in TypeScript's ES module exports.
+
+**Error:**
+```
+TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'ParseAll')
+at Object.<anonymous> (node_modules/ts-jest/dist/compiler/ts-compiler.js:43:123)
+```
+
+**Root Cause:** ts-jest accesses `typescript_1.default.JSDocParsingMode.ParseAll` but TypeScript has no default export in ESM.
+
+**Solution:** 
+- Use ts-jest 29.0.3 (older version that doesn't use this API)
+- OR wait for ts-jest fix
+- **Stay on TypeScript 5.8.3, not 5.9+**
+
+### 3. TypeScript `rewriteRelativeImportExtensions` Bug with .d.ts Files
+
+**Problem:** TypeScript's `rewriteRelativeImportExtensions: true` correctly rewrites `.ts` → `.js` in `.js` output files, but **incorrectly keeps `.ts` extensions in `.d.ts` declaration files**.
+
+**Example:**
+- Source: `export { Expr } from "./ast.ts";`
+- Output `index.js`: `export { Expr } from "./ast.js";` ✅ Correct
+- Output `index.d.ts`: `export { Expr } from "./ast.ts";` ❌ Wrong (should be `.js`)
+
+**Upstream Issue:** https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/61037 (marked "Help Wanted", in Backlog, NOT FIXED as of Dec 2025)
+
+**Workaround:** Post-process `.d.ts` files with a script. Create `script/fix-dts-extensions.cjs`:
+
+```javascript
+#!/usr/bin/env node
+/**
+ * Post-build script to fix TypeScript's rewriteRelativeImportExtensions bug
+ * where .d.ts files get .ts extensions instead of .js extensions.
+ * See: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/61037
+ */
+
+const fs = require('fs');
+const path = require('path');
+
+function fixDtsFile(filePath) {
+    let content = fs.readFileSync(filePath, 'utf8');
+    const original = content;
+    
+    // Replace .ts extensions in import/export statements with .js
+    content = content.replace(/(from\s+["'])([^"']+)\.ts(["'])/g, '$1$2.js$3');
+    content = content.replace(/(import\s*\(\s*["'])([^"']+)\.ts(["']\s*\))/g, '$1$2.js$3');
+    content = content.replace(/(export\s+\*\s+from\s+["'])([^"']+)\.ts(["'])/g, '$1$2.js$3');
+    
+    if (content !== original) {
+        fs.writeFileSync(filePath, content, 'utf8');
+        console.log(`Fixed: ${filePath}`);
+        return true;
+    }
+    return false;
+}
+
+function walkDir(dir, callback) {
+    const files = fs.readdirSync(dir);
+    for (const file of files) {
+        const filePath = path.join(dir, file);
+        const stat = fs.statSync(filePath);
+        if (stat.isDirectory()) {
+            walkDir(filePath, callback);
+        } else if (file.endsWith('.d.ts')) {
+            callback(filePath);
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+function main() {
+    const args = process.argv.slice(2);
+    if (args.length === 0) {
+        console.error('Usage: fix-dts-extensions.cjs <dist-dir> [<dist-dir2> ...]');
+        process.exit(1);
+    }
+    
+    let fixedCount = 0;
+    for (const dir of args) {
+        if (!fs.existsSync(dir)) {
+            console.warn(`Directory not found: ${dir}`);
+            continue;
+        }
+        walkDir(dir, (filePath) => {
+            if (fixDtsFile(filePath)) {
+                fixedCount++;
+            }
+        });
+    }
+    console.log(`Fixed ${fixedCount} .d.ts file(s)`);
+}
+
+main();
+```
+
+**Note:** Use `.cjs` extension since root `package.json` has `"type": "module"`.
+
+**Usage in package.json build scripts:**
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "build": "tsc --build tsconfig.build.json && node ../script/fix-dts-extensions.cjs dist"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. languageserver Tests Hang
+
+**Problem:** The languageserver tests hang indefinitely when running with the ESM configuration.
+
+**Status:** Not fully diagnosed. Tests pass on main branch but hang on ESM branch.
+
+**Possible causes:**
+- Jest ESM module resolution issues
+- Cross-package source mappings in jest.config.js
+- vscode-languageserver ESM compatibility issues
+- Specific test file causing hang (needs isolation testing)
+
+**Investigation needed:**
+- Run individual test files to isolate the hanging test
+- Check if vscode-languageserver has ESM compatibility issues
+- Review jest configuration for problematic mappings
+- Try running with `--detectOpenHandles` flag
+
+---
+
+## Required Configuration Changes
+
+### tsconfig.json (each package)
+
+```json
+{
+  "compilerOptions": {
+    "module": "node16",
+    "moduleResolution": "node16",

+# JSON Data Files
+
+This document describes the JSON data files used by the language service packages and how they are maintained.
+
+## Overview
+
+The language service uses several JSON files containing schema definitions, webhook payloads, and other metadata. To reduce bundle size, these files are:
+
+1. **Optimized at generation time** — unused events are dropped, unused fields are stripped
+2. **Minified at build time** — whitespace is removed to produce `.min.json` files
+
+The source `.json` files are human-readable and checked into the repository. The `.min.json` files are generated during build and gitignored.
+
+## Files
+
+### languageservice
+
+| File | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `src/context-providers/events/webhooks.json` | Webhook event payload schemas for autocompletion |
+| `src/context-providers/events/objects.json` | Deduplicated shared object definitions referenced by webhooks |
+| `src/context-providers/events/schedule.json` | Schedule event context data |
+| `src/context-providers/events/workflow_call.json` | Reusable workflow call context data |
+| `src/context-providers/descriptions.json` | Context variable descriptions for hover |
+
+### workflow-parser
+
+| File | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `src/workflow-v1.0.json` | Workflow YAML schema definition |
+
+## Generation
+
+### Webhooks and Objects
+
+The `webhooks.json` and `objects.json` files are generated from the [GitHub REST API description](https://github.com/github/rest-api-description):
+
+```bash
+cd languageservice
+npm run update-webhooks
+```
+
+This script:
+1. Fetches webhook schemas from the GitHub API description
+2. **Validates** all events are categorized (fails if new events are found)
+3. **Drops** events that aren't valid workflow triggers (see [Dropped Events](#dropped-events))
+4. **Strips** unused fields like `description` and `summary` (see [Stripped Fields](#stripped-fields))
+5. **Deduplicates** shared object definitions into `objects.json`
+6. Writes the optimized, pretty-printed JSON files
+
+### Handling New Webhook Events
+
+When GitHub adds a new webhook event, the script will fail with an error like:
+
+```
+ERROR: New webhook event(s) detected!
+
+The following events are not categorized:
+  - new_event_name
+
+Action required:
+  1. Check if the event is a valid workflow trigger
+  2. Add the event to DROPPED_EVENTS or KEPT_EVENTS
+```
+
+**To resolve:**
+
+1. Check [Events that trigger workflows](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/choosing-when-your-workflow-runs/events-that-trigger-workflows)
+
+2. Edit `languageservice/script/webhooks/index.ts`:
+   - Add to `KEPT_EVENTS` if it's a valid workflow trigger
+   - Add to `DROPPED_EVENTS` if it's GitHub App or API-only
+
+3. Run `npm run update-webhooks` and commit the changes
+
+#### Viewing Full Unprocessed Data
+
+To see all available fields and events before optimization:
+
+```bash
+npm run update-webhooks -- --all
+```
+
+This generates `webhooks.all.json` and `objects.all.json` (gitignored) containing the complete unprocessed data from the GitHub API.
+
+### Other Files
+
+The other JSON files (`schedule.json`, `workflow_call.json`, `descriptions.json`, `workflow-v1.0.json`) are manually maintained.
+
+## Minification
+
+At build time, all JSON files are minified (whitespace removed) to produce `.min.json` versions:
+
+```bash
+npm run minify-json
+```
+
+This runs automatically via `prebuild` and `pretest` hooks, so you don't need to run it manually.
+
+The code imports the minified versions:
+
+```ts
+import webhooks from "./events/webhooks.min.json"
+```
+
+## CI Verification
+
+CI verifies that generated source files are up-to-date:
+
+1. Runs `npm run update-webhooks` to regenerate webhooks.json and objects.json
+2. Checks for uncommitted changes with `git diff --exit-code`
+
+The `.min.json` files are generated at build time and are not committed to the repository.
+
+If the build fails, run `cd languageservice && npm run update-webhooks` locally and commit the changes.
+
+## Dropped Events
+
+Webhook events that aren't valid workflow `on:` triggers are dropped (e.g., `installation`, `ping`, `member`, etc.). These are GitHub App or API-only events.
+
+See `DROPPED_EVENTS` in `script/webhooks/index.ts` for the full list.
+
+## Stripped Fields
+
+Unused fields are stripped to reduce bundle size. For example:
+
+```json
+// Before (from webhooks.all.json)
+{
+  "type": "object",
+  "name": "issue",
+  "in": "body",
+  "description": "The issue itself.",
+  "isRequired": true,
+  "childParamsGroups": [...]
+}
+
+// After (webhooks.json)
+{
+  "name": "issue",
+  "description": "The issue itself.",
+  "childParamsGroups": [...]
+}
+```
+
+Only `name`, `description`, and `childParamsGroups` are kept — these are used for autocompletion and hover docs.
+
+To compare all fields vs stripped, run `npm run update-webhooks -- --all` and diff the `.all.json` files against the regular ones.
+
+See `EVENT_ACTION_FIELDS` and `BODY_PARAM_FIELDS` in `script/webhooks/index.ts` to modify what gets stripped.
+
+## Schema Synchronization
+
+The `workflow-v1.0.json` schema defines which activity types are valid for each workflow trigger event. A test in `workflow-parser/src/schema-sync.test.ts` verifies these stay in sync with `webhooks.json`.
+
+### When the Test Fails
+
+If the schema-sync test fails, you'll see an error like:
+
+```
+Event "pull_request" is missing activity type "new_activity" in workflow-v1.0.json
+```
+
+**To resolve:**
+
+1. Check [Events that trigger workflows](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/choosing-when-your-workflow-runs/events-that-trigger-workflows) to verify the activity type is a valid workflow trigger:
+   - Find the event section (e.g., "pull_request")
+   - Look at the "Activity types" table — it lists which types can be used in `on.<event>.types`
+   - If the type is listed there, it's a valid workflow trigger
+   - If the type only appears in webhook docs but NOT in the workflow trigger docs, it's webhook-only
+
+2. If it IS a valid workflow trigger:
+   - Edit `workflow-parser/src/workflow-v1.0.json`
+   - Find the `<event>-activity-type` definition (e.g., `pull-request-activity-type`)
+   - Add the new activity type to `allowed-values`
+   - Update the `description` in `<event>-activity` to list all types
+   - Run `npm test` to regenerate the minified JSON
+
+3. If it is NOT a valid workflow trigger (webhook-only):
+   - Edit `workflow-parser/src/schema-sync.test.ts`
+   - Add the type to `WEBHOOK_ONLY` for that event
+
+### Known Discrepancies
+
+The test tracks several types of known discrepancies:
+
+| Category | Purpose | Example |
+|----------|---------|---------|
+| `WEBHOOK_ONLY` | Types in webhooks that aren't valid workflow triggers | `check_suite.requested` |
+| `SCHEMA_ONLY` | Types valid for workflows but missing from webhooks | `registry_package.updated` |
+| `NAME_MAPPINGS` | Different names for the same concept | `project_column`: webhook uses `edited`, schema uses `updated` |
+
+### Bidirectional Checking
+
+The test checks both directions:
+- **webhooks → schema**: Ensures all webhook activity types are in the schema (or listed in `WEBHOOK_ONLY`)
+- **schema → webhooks**: Ensures the schema doesn't have types that don't exist in webhooks (or listed in `SCHEMA_ONLY` or `NAME_MAPPINGS`)
