TypeScript 7 ships as `typescript` with a `tsc` binary — stop installing @typescript/native-preview / running tsgo

typescript@7@typescript/native-preview#typescript#typescript-7#tsgo#native-preview#tooling
Fix
- npm i -D @typescript/native-preview
- npx tsgo --noEmit
+ npm i -D typescript@^7
+ npx tsc --noEmit

Nightly 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.

Symptom

An 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.

Cause

TypeScript 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.

Verify

npx tsc --version prints Version 7.x; npm ls @typescript/native-preview is empty.
