Description

Currently we only support the CJS syntax in the Snaps execution environment. We should investigate supporting ESM as well. This would include:

- Support for ESM in the execution environment.
- Bundle Snaps as ESM using CLI.
- Updating other parts of the codebase to support ESM.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Snaps execution environment and the CLI bundling flow, then trace the other code paths that assume CommonJS. Done means ESM works in the execution environment, the CLI bundles Snaps as ESM, and the affected codebase areas support it consistently.
