migrate-js-to-modern-typescript

Migrating a JavaScript codebase to TypeScript — converting .js files to .ts, adding types to existing JS, or tightening a loosely-typed TS project toward strict mode. Covers tsconfig and allowJs strategy, incremental strict-flag ratcheting (noImplicitAny, strictNullChecks, noUncheckedIndexedAccess), typing public surfaces, replacing `any` and unsafe casts with `unknown` and narrowing, validating runtime boundaries (JSON, env, API responses), converting CommonJS to ESM and prototypes to classes, and the build/CI changes a migration needs. Trigger even when the user only says "add types", "turn on strict mode", or "convert this file to TypeScript", and especially on a mixed JS/TS repo. Distinct from general TypeScript refactoring — this is the migration act itself, performed file by file while keeping the build green.
