Compare import and require outcomes for static TypeScript references when compiler options are unknown. Preserve branch facts through worker IR and both graph projections; retain declaration fallbacks as candidates without changing explicitly selected paths.
Validation: 210 focused resolver and semantic tests; 21 production-boundary and source-extension tests. A bounded 2,000-reference probe adds about 16–17 ms wall time for dual resolution; full task token costs and real compiled application behavior remain unmeasured.
Share loader selection across static findings and module relationships: CTS static imports and re-exports use CommonJS lookup while dynamic imports retain ESM lookup. Retain runtime import-equals dependencies, bindings, and exported names; do not resolve require file-URL strings as local artifacts. Restore import-map descriptions in CLI help.
Validated resolver and semantic tests, application reconstruction boundaries, and CLI help. Installed TypeScript NodeNext emission and Node require behavior were checked independently. Refs #2056, #2057, #2058, #2053.
Resolve values returned by simple assignment chains at the export boundary. Suppress property links proven to target a detached receiver; retain unresolved links when reassignment may preserve receiver identity. Identify root assignments from their AST target rather than the displayed export name.
Validation: 25 semantic tests, seven targeted compiled CLI/MCP scenarios with Node runtime controls, build, and check:fast passed. Existing full acceptance suite passed before receiver refinements; the final changes were checked with targeted scenarios rather than repeating its 130-second run.
Assigning a new value to the exports alias does not replace module.exports. Stop inventing a default export link and definite return-shape changes for that assignment.
Validation: 22 semantic structure source tests and 49 compiled CLI/MCP acceptance tests passed. The new regression checks Node require returns an empty export object for both versions and both adapters report missing defaults without definite changes.
Remove forwarding wrappers and shadow aliases, migrate callers and verification scripts to their owners, and share one exhaustive semantic resource-bound projection.
