robobun 9d68ec882a require --compile for ESM bytecode (#26624)
## Summary
- Add validation to require `--compile` when using ESM bytecode
- Update documentation to clarify ESM bytecode requirements

## Why
ESM module resolution is two-phase: (1) analyze imports/exports, (2)
evaluate. Without `--compile`, there's no `module_info` embedded, so JSC
must still parse the file for module analysis even with bytecode -
causing a double-parse deopt.

## Changes
- **CLI**: Error when `--bytecode --format=esm` is used without
`--compile`
- **JS API**: Error when `bytecode: true, format: 'esm'` is used without
`compile: true`
- **Docs**: Update bytecode.mdx, executables.mdx, index.mdx to clarify
requirements
- **Types**: Update JSDoc for bytecode option in bun.d.ts

## Test plan
```bash
# Should error
bun build ./test.js --bytecode --format=esm --outdir=./out
# error: ESM bytecode requires --compile. Use --format=cjs for bytecode without --compile.

# Should work
bun build ./test.js --bytecode --format=esm --compile --outfile=./mytest
bun build ./test.js --bytecode --format=cjs --outdir=./out
```

TypeScript types for Bun

Logo

These are the type definitions for Bun's JavaScript runtime APIs.

Installation

Install the @types/bun npm package:

# yarn/npm/pnpm work too
# @types/bun is an ordinary npm package
bun add -D @types/bun

That's it! VS Code and TypeScript automatically load @types/* packages into your project, so the Bun global and all bun:* modules should be available immediately.

Contributing

The @types/bun package is a shim that loads bun-types. The bun-types package lives in the Bun repo under packages/bun-types.

To add a new file, add it under packages/bun-types. Then add a triple-slash directive pointing to it inside ./index.d.ts.

+ /// <reference path="./newfile.d.ts" />
