Use native node for running the bot

Follow up to #541

Modernizes and simplifies our setup

Changes

• Fixed the required node version
  • Type-stripping is not unflagged in all version of Node 23, so it should be excluded
• Rewrote all imports from .js to .ts
• Enforced erasableSyntaxOnly
  • This means not using enums - only downside
• Pointed node directly to src/main.ts
• Removed the build step
• Replaced it with a type-checking script
• Removed all references to dist
• Updated the Dockerfile to reflect build changes
• Excluded test files from type-checking and typed linting
  • There's always been a ton of unaddressed type errors in our test files, but the build step never caught them because it excluded test files
  • The type-checking step doesn't exclude test files, so all the type errors are visible now
  • There's way too many to fix right now, so I'm saving it for later

The branch protection rules need to be updated to expect CI / Type check instead of CI / Build.

Not sure about removing this line. Shouldn't we update the package lists before trying to install packages?

[JstnMcBrd]

Only when you want the most recent package versions, which is unnecessary for our use case (simply installing any version of openssl). Relying on auto-updates from node:24-slim is sufficient.

Each line of a Dockerfile is an additional layer, so I figure it's better to cut it.

I'm not sure on removing the "build" stage yet. I'm hoping to eventually set up something like Rollup so we can tree-shake and avoid including node_modules in the final bundle, and setting that up would require reinstating that build step and possibly undoing this entire PR later 😓

Hmm. I'm not sure what value minifying, tree-shaking, or bundling would have for a project like this. It's not a web-loaded script, web app, or a library/package where download size+speed matters, and performance gains would likely be marginal.

In comparison, the simplicity + reduced cognitive load + improved devx of simply running the script directly seems very valuable. What do you think?
