Description

When making https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-authn/pull/1497 I ran into the following error

● Validation Error:

  Module ts-jest in the transform option was not found.
         <rootDir> is: /home/bsmith/code/frontend-app-authn

  Configuration Documentation:
  https://jestjs.io/docs/configuration

I was able to work around it by running npm install ts-jest --save-dev directly in the MFE, but it seems like we shouldn't need to do that.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Jest validation error in the frontend-app-authn micro-frontend, using the transform configuration and the reported ts-jest workaround as the entry points. Trace how frontend-build supplies or expects this dependency, then verify that the affected MFE no longer needs a direct npm install and that Jest validation passes.
