Issues with TypeScript and ts-node in Solana Project

[packetlost]

I am experiencing persistent issues with my Solana compressed NFTs project using this repository.

Issue Summary:

• Running TypeScript files (ts-node and node --loader ts-node/esm) consistently fails with ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION.
• The error persists even after cleaning cache, reinstalling dependencies, and modifying tsconfig.json/package.json.
• Modules that exist (@/utils/helpers) are sometimes not found despite being in the project structure.

Steps Taken So Far:

• Reinstalled all dependencies (rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json yarn.lock dist && yarn cache clean && yarn install).
• Tried multiple execution commands:
• yarn start
• node --loader ts-node/esm scripts/mint_compressed_nft.ts
• yarn ts-node --project tsconfig.json scripts/mint_compressed_nft.ts
• node --require ts-node/register scripts/mint_compressed_nft.ts
• Checked and modified tsconfig.json and package.json for proper module resolution.
• Verified that required modules exist (utils/helpers.ts is present but sometimes is "not found").
• Tested on different Node.js versions but the issue persists.

Error Messages:

Example 1:
TypeError: Unknown file extension ".ts" for /home/rosy/solana-compressed-nfts/compressed-nfts/scripts/mint_compressed_nft.ts
Example 2:
Error: Cannot find module '@/utils/helpers'

Request for Assistance:

• Could this be a GitHub repo issue or an NPM/Yarn caching issue?
• Is there a way to force TypeScript to properly resolve modules without randomly failing?
• Any debugging steps beyond yarn cache clean and node_modules reset?
