Description
## Description
This issue proposes migrating the entire codebase from JavaScript to TypeScript to improve type safety, developer experience, and long-term maintainability.
## Why TypeScript?
- **Type Safety**: Catch errors during development instead of runtime.
- **Better Tooling**: Enhanced IDE autocompletion, refactoring, and inline documentation.
- **Scalability**: Clear interfaces and type definitions simplify collaboration.
- **Gradual Adoption**: Existing `.js` files can coexist during migration using `allowJs`.

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by inventorying the JavaScript codebase and existing build configuration, then define a staged migration plan using allowJs; done would require the repository to be migrated to TypeScript with the stated type-safety and tooling goals met.
