💻 Code
Run tsc (yarn tsc, yarn exec tsc, npx tsc, ./node_modules/.bin/tsc) with nodejs flag --experimental-specifier-resolution=node (NODE_OPTIONS="--experimental-specifier-resolution=node" tsc)
🙁 Actual behavior
internal/process/esm_loader.js:74
internalBinding('errors').triggerUncaughtException(
^
TypeError [ERR_INVALID_MODULE_SPECIFIER]: Invalid module "file:///path/to/project/node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc"

at async Object.loadESM (internal/process/esm_loader.js:68:5) {

}
🙂 Expected behavior
Build without errors

Research direction
Start by inspecting TypeScript's package.json and the tsc entry point shown in node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc, then reproduce the crash with Node's --experimental-specifier-resolution=node flag. Done means the tsc command builds without the reported ERR_INVALID_MODULE_SPECIFIER error in the provided minimal example.
