Description
The v6 migration converted all files from CommonJS to ESM using the .mjs extension. The .mjs extension was a transitional mechanism — the intended long-term approach is "type": "module" in package.json, which makes plain .js files ES modules by default.
This is now the ecosystem convention (Node.js docs, major frameworks, etc.). Keeping .mjs signals an incomplete migration.
The change is mechanical — rename all .mjs → .js, add "type": "module" to package.json, update any import paths — but worth doing for consistency with modern Node.js conventions.

Research direction
Start by inventorying the repository’s .mjs files and reviewing package.json, then identify import paths that depend on the extension. The change is complete when the files use .js, package.json declares "type": "module", and all affected imports are updated consistently.
