Describe the feature that you would like added
Upgrade the Fluent UI monorepo from TypeScript 5.7.3 to TypeScript 6.0 and resolve the release's breaking changes and deprecations so that the repository remains on a supported compiler path and is prepared for TypeScript 7.0
The migration should include:
- Update the root TypeScript dependency and version pins in maintained starter templates
- Replace deprecated
moduleResolution: node/node10settings with the appropriate modern strategy:bundlerfor browser or bundler-owned projectsnodenextfor projects executed directly by Node.js
- Remove deprecated
baseUrlsettings and rewritepathsentries where needed so existing aliases resolve identically. - Audit tsconfigs that rely on ambient
@typesdiscovery and add minimal explicittypesentries such asnode,jest, orwebpack-env - Verify that
rootDir, module, target, strictness, side-effect import checking, and other changed defaults are explicit wherever repository behavior must remain stable - Fix source-level errors caused by TypeScript 6.0 inference or syntax changes
- Update the workspace generators/templates
Additional context
TypeScript 6.0 is a transition release for the native TypeScript 7.0 compiler. Options deprecated in 6.0 will be removed in 7.0, so addressing the migration now avoids coupling the compiler upgrade with a larger future configuration rewrite.
Current repository findings:
- The root
package.jsonpins TypeScript to5.7.3 - The Vite React Components starter template uses
~5.7.3 - Shared configs use deprecated
moduleResolution: node - The main, v8, merged-path, and Web Components base configs use deprecated
baseUrl - Central configs already set
strictandrootDirexplicitly, but project-level configs still need to be audited for the newtypes: []default and other changed defaults
TypeScript 6.0 release notes:

stableTypeOrdering may be useful temporarily to diagnose TypeScript 6.0-to-7.0 declaration differences, but it should not be enabled permanently because the TypeScript documentation notes a potentially significant type-checking cost
