Description
Problem
With TypeScript 7.0.2 installed in the project, tsci build crashes before processing even a one-resistor board. Pinning only TypeScript to 5.9.3 allows the same command and source to build.
Reproduction
Linux x64, Bun 1.4.2. In an empty directory:
bun init -y
bun add --exact @tscircuit/cli@0.1.2057 tscircuit@0.0.2516 typescript@7.0.2
index.tsx:
export default () => <board width={10} height={10}><resistor name="R1" resistance="1k" footprint="0603" /></board>
tsconfig.json:
{"compilerOptions":{"jsx":"react-jsx","moduleResolution":"Bundler","module":"ESNext","target":"ESNext","skipLibCheck":true}}
bunx tsci build index.tsx
Exit code: 1. Relevant output:
527 | const validModules = [
528 | ModuleKind.ES2015,
^
TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'ModuleKind.ES2015')
at node_modules/@rollup/plugin-typescript/dist/es/index.js:528:5
The resolved Rollup plugin version was @rollup/plugin-typescript@12.3.0.
Control / workaround
bun add --exact typescript@5.9.3
bunx tsci build index.tsx
Verified exit code 0, circuit JSON generated, same source and CLI version.
Expected
Either support the installed TypeScript version or constrain/isolate the compiler dependency and provide an actionable compatibility message. A startup crash inside an eagerly loaded Rollup plugin makes the entire build command unusable. This report concerns the CLI integration/dependency boundary; it does not assume the underlying Rollup plugin already supports TypeScript 7.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure with the provided Bun commands, index.tsx, tsconfig.json, and tsci build entry point; inspect the CLI's dependency boundary around @rollup/plugin-typescript and the reported dist/es/index.js access to ModuleKind. Done means the TypeScript 7 setup no longer crashes at startup, either by supporting it or by producing an actionable compatibility message, while the TypeScript 5.9.3 control remains successful.
