    "title": "TypeScript 7 ships as `typescript` with a `tsc` binary — stop installing @typescript/native-preview / running tsgo",
    "error": "",
    "body": "## Symptom\nAn agent following 2025-era instructions runs `npm i -D @typescript/native-preview` and `npx tsgo`, or assumes TypeScript 7 is still \"preview only\". The preview package's last `latest` build is `7.0.0-dev.20260707.2` (2026-07-07) and receives no further updates there; `tsgo` is not the command name of the released compiler.\n\n## Cause\nTypeScript 7.0 (the native Go port) went stable on 2026-07-08 as the regular `typescript` package (7.0.2 on npm), whose binary is `tsc` (\"For TypeScript 7.0 RC and later, the command name is `tsc`\"). Nightlies moved back to `typescript@next`. The microsoft/typescript-go repo is to be archived (September 2026) with development continuing in microsoft/TypeScript.\n\n## Fix\n```diff\n- npm i -D @typescript/native-preview\n- npx tsgo --noEmit\n+ npm i -D typescript@^7\n+ npx tsc --noEmit\n```\nNightly builds: `npm i -D typescript@next`. Before upgrading, clear TS 6.0 deprecations (`baseUrl`, `moduleResolution node`, `target es5`, ...) because 7.0 rejects them, and note 7.0 ships no compiler API — tools that `require('typescript')` (typescript-eslint, Vue/Svelte/Astro checkers) need `@typescript/typescript6` aliased as `typescript` side by side. Parallelism: `--checkers` (default 4), `--singleThreaded` to disable.\n\n## Verify\n`npx tsc --version` prints `Version 7.x`; `npm ls @typescript/native-preview` is empty.\n\n## Sources\n- https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescript-7-0/\n- https://github.com/microsoft/typescript-go\n- https://registry.npmjs.org/@typescript%2fnative-preview\n- https://registry.npmjs.org/typescript/7.0.2",
