[Spike] Investigate migrating off of ts-node

What would you like?

Determine an alternative to ts-node.

Why is this needed?

In looking at ts-node, it appears that there has not been a lot of recent development. During the upgrade to electron 32 (and underlying Node version bump to 20+), I had to work around some active issues in ts-node. It seems like it might make maintenance easier going forward if we can find an alternative (tsx for example).

@AtofStryker had done a little investigation to swapping to tsx on this branch. This could be used as a starting point.

ts-node is causing a deprecation message when Cypress is run in the current Node.js v22.11.0 LTS version:

(node:7665) [DEP0180] DeprecationWarning: fs.Stats constructor is deprecated.

• See [DEP0180] DeprecationWarning: fs.Stats constructor is deprecated when using node 22 TypeStrong/ts-node#2116 which also mentions a fork https://github.com/thetutlage/ts-node-maintained which might be helpful as a stop-gap.
