Fix Windows source startup script runners

[RonWelWork]

Summary

This PR is now narrowed to the Windows apps/server dev startup issue.

On Windows, the current apps/server dev script runs bun run src/bin.ts. That path fails before normal app use because Bun does not support the PTY-backed server runtime there.

Changes

• switch apps/server dev from bun run src/bin.ts to tsx src/bin.ts
• keep build unchanged
• add a focused regression test covering the server dev runtime expectation

Verification

• bunx vitest run scripts/package-scripts.test.ts
• bun fmt
• bun lint
• bun typecheck
• confirmed separately that scripts/dev-runner.ts runs under supported Node 24, so the root package-script changes from the earlier revision were removed

Context

This is intended as a narrow Windows source/dev fix for the server runtime path only.

Note

Fix Windows compatibility of the apps/server dev startup script

• Replaces bun run src/bin.ts with tsx src/bin.ts in the dev script of apps/server/package.json, fixing startup on Windows where bun is not reliably available.
• Adds tsx ^4.20.6 as a dependency and updates the lockfile accordingly.
• Adds a test in scripts/package-scripts.test.ts that asserts the dev script uses tsx to prevent regressions.

Note

Low Risk
Low risk change limited to the apps/server development entrypoint and tooling dependency, plus a small test to prevent script regressions.

Overview
Updates apps/server development startup to run via tsx instead of bun, improving Windows compatibility for local dev.

Adds tsx as a dev dependency (and updates the lockfile) and introduces scripts/package-scripts.test.ts to assert the server dev script remains tsx src/bin.ts going forward.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved

This is a straightforward dev environment fix that changes the TypeScript runner from bun to tsx for Windows compatibility. Changes are limited to a dev script, adding a dependency, and a regression test. No production runtime behavior is affected.

we don't use node 22 so the running ts files doens't apply

[RonWelWork]

Good catch. I checked this against supported Node 24, and you're right that the root node ...ts part is not a strong argument here: scripts/dev-runner.ts does run under Node 24, so I removed those root/package-level changes from the PR.

I narrowed the patch to the Windows apps/server dev path only:

• keep root scripts unchanged
• keep apps/server build unchanged
• switch only apps/server dev from bun run src/bin.ts to tsx src/bin.ts
• keep a focused regression test for that server dev runtime expectation

The remaining issue I was targeting is that the current Windows server dev path goes through Bun, and that fails before normal app use because Bun PTY support is unavailable there.

Addressed both Cursor Bugbot notes in the latest push:

• restored configVersion: 1 in bun.lock so the PR no longer changes Bun linker behavior
• strengthened the regression test to assert the exact expected dev command (tsx src/bin.ts) instead of only rejecting the old Bun command

Re-ran:

• vitest run scripts/package-scripts.test.ts
• fmt
• lint
• typecheck
