fix: improve pnpm bootstrapping and add compile script

[KJ7LNW]

Context

This ensures proper bootstrapping of pnpm on systems where it may not be directly available (like Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Oracle Linux), fixes git hook failures.

Implementation

1. Created a robust bootstrap script that handles npm-to-pnpm transitions without recursion or global installation requirements. This is particularly important for systems like Red Hat Enterprise Linux where pnpm is not available for local installation like npm is.

2. Fixed Husky hooks to check if pnpm is in PATH and fall back to npx pnpm if not available, ensuring git hooks work in all environments.

3. Modified package.json scripts to use the bootstrap script for install, install:all, and preinstall, preventing infinite recursion while maintaining compatibility with both npm and pnpm.

4. Updated test script to use npx pnpm when invoking turbo, ensuring the package manager binary is found correctly.

5. Added a compile script to the root package.json that runs the TypeScript compilation and bundling steps without creating the final .vsix package, which is needed for various automation scenarios.

How to Test

1. Clone the repository on a system where pnpm is not in the PATH
2. Run npm install - it should bootstrap to pnpm install
3. Run npm run install - it should also work
4. Run npm run install:all - it should also work
5. Make changes and commit - the pre-commit hook should work
6. Run npm run compile - it should compile without creating a .vsix file

Issues Fixed

• Fixes: Regression: npm run install:all and npm run install commands no longer work after pnpm migration #3875 (npm run install:all and npm run install commands no longer work)
• Fixes: Regression: npm run install:all and npm run install commands no longer work after pnpm migration #3876 (duplicate of Regression: npm run install:all and npm run install commands no longer work after pnpm migration #3875)
• Fixes: Missing package manager binary dependency for test command #3877 (Missing package manager binary dependency for test command)
• Fixes: Critical Regression for developers: pre-commit and pre-push hooks fail with "pnpm: command not found" #3878 (pre-commit and pre-push hooks fail with "pnpm: command not found")
• Fixes: Regression: Missing "compile" script breaks existing automation #3881 (Missing compile script breaks existing automation)

Important

Improves pnpm bootstrapping with a new script, updates git hooks for pnpm availability, modifies package scripts to prevent recursion, and adds a compile script.

• Bootstrap Script:
  • Adds scripts/bootstrap.js to handle npm-to-pnpm transitions without recursion or global installation.
  • Checks for pnpm availability and installs it locally if not found.
• Git Hooks:
  • Updates .husky/pre-commit and .husky/pre-push to use npx pnpm if pnpm is not in PATH.
• Package Scripts:
  • Modifies package.json scripts preinstall, install, and install:all to use scripts/bootstrap.js.
  • Adds compile script to package.json for TypeScript compilation without creating a .vsix package.
• Issues Fixed:
  • Fixes Regression: npm run install:all and npm run install commands no longer work after pnpm migration #3875, Regression: npm run install:all and npm run install commands no longer work after pnpm migration #3876, Missing package manager binary dependency for test command #3877, Critical Regression for developers: pre-commit and pre-push hooks fail with "pnpm: command not found" #3878, and Regression: Missing "compile" script breaks existing automation #3881 related to pnpm bootstrapping and script execution.

@mrubens @cte

This now works on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) for npm/npx based bootstrapping because pnpm it is not packaged in RHEL which is necessary for developers working in enterprise environments.

Now the following works:

npm install
npm install
npm run compile
npm run test
npm run build

This deploys pnpm via npx so users can use npx pnpm and follows what users will expect who have used npm for projects in the past.

@cte if this does not cause any regressions for you, then please merge ASAP because I am unable to do anything new in this repository until it is fixed.

Will test it locally shortly.

Sorry - didn't get to this last night; will take a look as soon as I'm out of meetings.
