Prep PR for the admin auth module (docs/plan-admin-auth.md step 1).
better-auth 1.7 ships ESM only, so the API moves off CommonJS:
- "type": "module", module nodenext, target ES2024, .js suffixes on all
relative imports, require('mariadb'|'cors') replaced by imports, and
export= packages (winston, app-root-path, bcrypt) consumed via default
imports. The logger now uses appRoot.path explicitly.
- TypeScript 5.9, @types/node 26, tslint removed. Node 26 pinned via
engines and .nvmrc (Plesk runs 26).
- Jest 28 + ts-jest replaced by vitest 5. Eight test files depend on
hoisted module mocks with static imports and resetModules + require,
which Jest's ESM mode does not support; vitest keeps them nearly
verbatim. Coverage via @vitest/coverage-v8 (lcov), Sonar generic report
via vitest-sonar-reporter, so sonar-project.properties is unchanged.
vitest.config.ts sets FEEDBACK_IP_SALT so the suite passes without a
local .env.
- dotenv 8 -> 16 and axios 0.24 -> 1.x: their old typings are not
resolvable under nodenext.
- autoCommit: false dropped from the pool configs; it is not a mariadb
connector option and was silently ignored.
tsc clean, 96/96 tests green, compiled app boots and serves /, /docs and
CORS under Node ESM.
