Description

TypeScript 6 came out fairly recently. It'd be nice to update to it, but it's not a trivial upgrade. We'll need to change some entries in the tsconfig.json, since some checks that were off by default are now on by default.

TypeScript 7 has also been released, but typescript-eslint doesn't support it yet.

Research direction

Start by reviewing tsconfig.json and the project's TypeScript and typescript-eslint configuration. Check which compiler checks change when upgrading to TypeScript 6, then run the existing project checks to identify required updates. Done means TypeScript 6 is supported with the necessary tsconfig changes while remaining compatible with typescript-eslint; do not target TypeScript 7.
