A reproducible use case for @nx/js' reliance on ts-node 10.9.1 causing TS Config extension issues

Reproducible use-case for @nx/js issue due to reliance on ts-node 10.9.1

See this filed issue for details.

Step to reproduce:

git clone https://github.com/tdd/nx-js-issue-demo.git
cd nx-js-issue-demo
npm install
npx nx release --first-release --dry-run

Output:

 NX   There was an error when resolving the configured changelog renderer at path: node_modules/nx/release/changelog-renderer

The relevant config is defined here: nx.json, lines 5-10


 NX   Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'map')

Pass --verbose to see the stacktrace.


NOTE: The "dryRun" flag means no changes were made.

This is because when following the TS config extension chain (from the matching tsconfig.json file to its extends package and so on), @nx/js oddly relies on ts-node to parse these, and 10.9.1 incorrectly ignores import conditions, so when one of the modules providing a config file exposes it through its exports package field, and its actual path differs from the exported path, resolution fails.

This can be fixed trivially by updating @nx/js dependency on ts-node to 10.9.2, which is the latest version (Dec 8, 10 months ago!) and does honor import conditions.

Longer-term, depending on ts-node when @swc/core / @swc-node/register are installed is weird, as ts-node is more or less abandonware these days.
