Migrate Credo Backchannel to ESM and Ts.ED v7 from v6

[nodlesh]

This PR attempts to solve the Require ESM errors that occasionally happen in the running of the Credo-ts backchannel. This PR moves the project from a module type of CommonJS to ESNext, while updating some packages as well. Essentially this is moving Ts.ED from v6 to v7, setup for a future move to v8.

This is the original error attempted to resolve,

Starting Credo agent ...
yarn run v1.22.22
$ /src/node_modules/.bin/ts-node src/index.ts -p 9030 -i false
/src/node_modules/@tsed/common/lib/cjs/exports.js:5
require("@tsed/logger");
^
Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /src/node_modules/@tsed/logger/lib/esm/index.js from /src/node_modules/@tsed/common/lib/cjs/exports.js not supported.
Instead change the require of index.js in /src/node_modules/@tsed/common/lib/cjs/exports.js to a dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules.

Any help solving the above error would be greatly appreciated.

If you get the code form this branch, you can see the error by running

./manage rebuild -a credo

Lots of stuff! Ran it locally and still no luck - Acme timed out again.

This is in draft, so it won't work. This PR right now is a call for help. I'm making a post on the Credo Discord.

This PR will remain in Draft and put aside for now. Working with the Ts.ED maintainers still hasn't come to a resolution on the UNDEFINED_TOKEN_ERROR above.

Some references for a future reattempt at this.

Discussed on 2026-02-12: The group was unfamiliar with Ts.ED and will need to investigate the backchannel codebase to better understand the issue and address moving forward.
