Looks good but it'll need tests before being merged, and our package.json will need to be updated.

You can probably copy-paste an existing ESM test, but add a deliberate type error to make sure it gets ignored.

We also have tests that each entrypoint can be resolved, which will validate the changes to package.json.

[cspotcode]

Needs package.json updates and tests; otherwise looks good.

[concision]

I have added esm/transpile-only.mjs to the package.json exports and corresponding resolution tests.

I also added two tests to verify the loader should behave as expected:

• verify that the transpile-only ESM loader skips type checks in the presence of type errors
• verify that the transpile-only ESM loader throws a type error in the presence of type errors

Are there any other needed changes I need to make?

[cspotcode]

Looks great; just a couple questions.

@concision looks great, thanks. It's merged. I need a review of #970 before making our next release, but hopefully we can get that done this weekend. It'll be 9.0.0
