Overview of Changes

A flow that imports through a tsconfig path alias fails locally with Cannot find package '@utilities/gpt-helpers.ts', because the staged copy of the project hands the alias straight to Node, which goes looking for an npm package by that name. Staging now rewrites every alias into the equivalent relative import, which is what the platform runner does before it runs a flow, so the same flow runs locally and in the cloud. Alias patterns follow TypeScript's own selection rules now, and an alias that still does not resolve points at compilerOptions.paths instead of telling you to npm install it.

Testing

bun run typecheck
bun run lint
bun run format:check
bun run knip
bun run test
bun run build

Ran a project whose flow reaches a utility through two alias hops (flow@pages/admin/funnel-detail-page.ts@utilities/gpt-helpers.ts) on every lane that ships:

Lane Result
Bun exit 0
Node 24, native type stripping exit 0
Node 24, --workers 2 subprocess pool exit 0
Compiled binary exit 0

Removing paths from that project's tsconfig reproduces the original failure and prints the new hint. A deliberate throw inside the aliased module reports funnel-detail-page.ts:6:9, so the rewrite leaves line and column positions alone.

Walkthrough

The change adds TypeScript path-alias parsing and resolution with exact-match and longest-prefix wildcard rules. It rewrites eligible imports, exports, and literal dynamic imports to relative paths when staged project files contain matching targets. Project-based runs apply the rewriting while excluding node_modules, .git, and .qawolf. Missing source-file specifiers now produce tsconfig.json and compilerOptions.paths guidance. Existing interactive-runner utilities use the shared alias module.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e52f1

Valid projects can still leave aliases unreplaced, causing local runs to fail when Node treats those aliases as package names.

Explanation

The title uses a valid Conventional Commits type and describes the alias-import failure, but its description is not imperative. "bug causing runs to fail" is a noun phrase rather than an imperative such as "fix alias imports that cause runs to fail."

Inline comments:
In `@src/core/aliasImports/filePathVariants.ts`:
- Around line 1-14: Update sourceExtensionPattern and sourceExtensions in
filePathVariants to include .jsx and .tsx, so extensionless and index candidates
cover JavaScript and TypeScript JSX targets while preserving the existing .js
and .ts behavior.

In `@src/core/aliasImports/tsconfigPaths.ts`:
- Around line 97-104: Update the target-resolution logic around
findTargetFilePath to iterate through every entry in match.targets in order,
substituting the matched path for each target and stopping at the first existing
file. Do not destructure only match.targets[0]; preserve the ordered fallback
behavior and leave the alias unresolved only when no configured target resolves.
- Around line 24-34: Update readTsconfigPaths and parseTsconfigPaths to load the
effective TypeScript configuration through the TypeScript configuration API
instead of JSON.parse, using an Fs-backed host so extends files are read and
comments are accepted. Resolve the effective baseUrl and normalize the resulting
path mappings before passing them to the pure alias-rewrite utility, preserving
undefined behavior when no valid paths are available. Add coverage for
commented, inherited, and baseUrl-relative configurations.

In `@src/domains/runtimeEnv/rewriteStagedAliases.ts`:
- Line 13: Expand sourceExtensions to include all TypeScript and JavaScript
variants: .ts, .tsx, .mts, .cts, .js, .jsx, .mjs, and .cjs, so
rewriteStagedAliases processes aliases in every supported staged source file.
