[agent] Failed to update typescript #708

Failed dependency update

Package: typescript
From: 6.0.3 → To: 7.0.2

Error

The update was reverted during Step 1 of the dependency update workflow. Bumping typescript to 7.0.2 breaks ESLint, which fails before any linting can run:

Oops! Something went wrong! :(

ESLint: 9.39.2

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'Cjs')
    at node_modules/.pnpm/@typescript-eslint+typescript-estree@8.54.0_supports-color@10.2.2_typescript@7.0.2/node_modules/@typescript-eslint/typescript-estree/dist/create-program/shared.js:59:14

This surfaced in update-outdated-deps:fix-pkg-json (which runs eslint --fix over the package.json files) and would equally have failed Step 2a (pnpm lint).

Root cause

TypeScript 7 is the native port, and its public API shape differs from TypeScript 6 (ts.ModuleKind.Cjs is no longer where typescript-estree expects it). No released typescript-eslint supports it yet — the current latest (8.70.0) still declares:

"peerDependencies": {
  "typescript": ">=4.8.4 <6.1.0"
}

Note that eslint, @eslint/js and typescript-eslint are deliberately excluded from update-outdated-deps, so bumping typescript-eslint was not an option here either.

What was tried

• Reproduced the failure with a clean pnpm install on typescript@7.0.2, ruling out a stale node_modules state.
• Checked whether a newer typescript-eslint supports TypeScript 7 — it does not (see the peer range above).
• Reverted typescript to 6.0.3 across all 35 workspace package.json files, reinstalled, and continued with the remaining dependency updates.

Suggested follow-up

Hold typescript at 6.x until typescript-eslint ships TypeScript 7 support. Consider adding !typescript to the update-outdated-deps:update-versions and list-outdated-deps exclusion lists in the root package.json so subsequent automated runs do not keep re-attempting this bump.
