feat!: convert SDK to TypeScript with a dual ESM/CJS build

[matt-evervault]

Why

Modernize the SDK by converting it to TypeScript. This improves type-safety for consumers and maintainers and ships proper bundled type declarations, while keeping the public API and on-the-wire behaviour identical.

Stacked on top of claude/sdk-cleanup-dead-code — review that PR first. This PR's diff is against the cleanup branch.

How

• Rewrote lib/*.js → lib/*.ts in strict TypeScript, preserving runtime behaviour and the byte-exact encryption formats (only module syntax and type annotations changed).
• Build with tsup to dist/ as dual ESM (index.mjs) + CommonJS (index.js) with bundled .d.ts; repointed main/module/types/exports. require('@evervault/sdk') still returns the EvervaultClient class, and import Evervault from '@evervault/sdk' works for ESM consumers (keepNames preserves error.type).
• Monkey-patched Node core modules (https.request, tls.*) use default imports so the mutable module.exports is patched — works in both the CJS and ESM builds.
• Folded the hand-written types.d.ts / domainTargets.d.ts into source types.
• Ran the existing mocha suite against the TS source via tsx and replaced rewire (incompatible with compiled TS) with proxyquire / shared-singleton config mutation. 204 passing, unchanged from the JS baseline.
• CI: added typecheck + build steps; bumped CodeQL to v3 with the javascript-typescript language.

Released as a major (7.0) via changeset only because the package's internal file layout and exports map changed.

Automated review

Reviewed the full diff (2,256 additions / 1,187 deletions across 50 files — the TS conversion, tsup dual ESM/CJS build, and test conversions from rewire to proxyquire). CI is green. Findings below, most severe first.

Should-fix

1. httpsRequestOverloaded is a process-global flag shared across all client instances (lib/index.ts, _shouldOverloadHttpModule)

let httpsRequestOverloaded = false;
...
} else if (httpsRequestOverloaded) {
  (https as any).request = originalRequest;
  httpsRequestOverloaded = false;
}

The JS baseline unconditionally reset https.request in the else branch; this version gates the reset on a module-level singleton instead of being per-instance. Concretely: construct client1 = new EvervaultClient(app1, key1, { enableOutboundRelay: true }) (patches https.request, sets the flag), then construct client2 = new EvervaultClient(app2, key2) with no relay options — client2's constructor sees the global flag is true and resets https.request back to the original, silently killing client1's Relay-based outbound decryption with no error. This is a real behavior change in a security-relevant path that isn't mentioned in the changeset (which describes the conversion as behavior-preserving). Might be worth scoping this per-instance (WeakSet/refcount) rather than a single boolean, or at least calling it out explicitly.

2. exports map may not correctly serve types to ESM consumers (package.json / tsup.config.ts / lib/index.ts)

"exports": {
  ".": {
    "types": "./dist/index.d.ts",
    "import": "./dist/index.mjs",
    "require": "./dist/index.js"
  }
}

lib/index.ts uses TS's CJS-only export =, and tsup with format: ['cjs','esm'], dts: true typically also emits index.d.mts for the ESM build. Here types is a single flat key rather than nested inside each of import/require, so under moduleResolution: "bundler"/"node16"/"nodenext" an ESM consumer's import Evervault from '@evervault/sdk' may resolve types through a mismatched declaration (or never see a generated .d.mts at all). Worth verifying with a small consumer project under node16/bundler resolution — if there's a mismatch, the standard fix is nesting types under each of import/require pointing at format-specific .d.ts/.d.mts files.

Nits (undisclosed but likely-intentional behavior drift)

3. lib/core/http.ts getAppKey now throws on non-2xx responses (throw errors.mapResponseCodeToError(response)), where the JS baseline fell off the end of the function and resolved undefined. Real improvement, but contradicts the "runtime behaviour unchanged" claim — worth a changeset line.

4. lib/core/http.ts getRelayOutboundConfig pollInterval parsing changed from isNaN(pollIntervalHeaderValue) ? null : parseFloat(...) (strict Number() coercion first) to always running lenient parseFloat first. For a malformed value like "10abc": old → null, new → 10. Low real-world impact (server-controlled header) but is a behavior drift from the refactor.

5. Type-safety is uneven — the public surface (encrypt<T>, EncryptedData<T>) is well-typed, but the highest-risk internal code is any-typed throughout: lib/core/crypto.ts (ecdhTeamKey, ecdhPublicKey, _traverseObject/_encryptString/_encryptBytes), lib/utils/proxyAgent.ts (fully any), lib/curves/base.ts (ASN1, curveParams). Understandable given awkward upstream typings (asn1js, agent-base), but worth noting the TS conversion buys the least safety exactly where mistakes would be most costly (on-the-wire crypto formatting).

6. SdkOptions.encryptionMode?: boolean is now a typed public field, and validationHelper.validateApiKey supports an early-return bypass on options.encryptionMode === true, but no visible call site in lib/index.ts forwards an options object to validateApiKey (all calls pass only appId/apiKey), and there's no visible assignment of this.encryptionMode from constructor options. If this is genuinely new, it looks unwired; if carried over from the stacked base branch, it's now just exposed as public API — worth confirming that's intentional.

Checked, no issues found

• Monkey-patch live-binding correctness across CJS/ESM builds: all mutation sites (lib/index.ts, lib/utils/httpsHelper.ts, lib/utils/attest.ts) use default imports (import https from 'https'), which correctly point at the live shared module object under both esbuild's CJS output and native ESM — no bug from the dual-build target.
• error.type preservation: EvervaultError sets this.type = this.constructor.name after super(), unaffected by useDefineForClassFields field-init ordering.
• rewire → proxyquire conversion: checked all 7 converted test files; stubbing and .default access correctly matches tsc/tsup's export default emission, no silent no-ops. One purely stylistic inconsistency in tests/sdk.test.js (4/5 config re-injections go through proxyquire, one mutates the shared singleton directly) — functionally equivalent, not a bug.

this is potentially changing behavior on corner cases

[aNickPlx]

need to check if this is a number instead of coercing it to a number

[aNickPlx]

use toString instead
