• Fix CSS nesting transform for top-level & (#3052)

  Previously esbuild could crash with a stack overflow when lowering CSS nesting rules with a top-level &, such as in the code below. This happened because esbuild's CSS nesting transform didn't handle top-level &, causing esbuild to inline the top-level selector into itself. This release handles top-level & by replacing it with the :scope pseudo-class:

  /* Original code */
  &,
  a {
    .b {
      color: red;
    }
  }
  
  /* New output (with --target=chrome90) */
  :is(:scope, a) .b {
    color: red;
  }

• Support exports in package.json for extends in tsconfig.json (#3058)

  TypeScript 5.0 added the ability to use extends in tsconfig.json to reference a path in a package whose package.json file contains an exports map that points to the correct location. This doesn't automatically work in esbuild because tsconfig.json affects esbuild's path resolution, so esbuild's normal path resolution logic doesn't apply.

  This release adds support for doing this by adding some additional code that attempts to resolve the extends path using the exports field. The behavior should be similar enough to esbuild's main path resolution logic to work as expected.

  Note that esbuild always treats this extends import as a require() import since that's what TypeScript appears to do. Specifically the require condition will be active and the import condition will be inactive.

• Fix watch mode with NODE_PATH (#3062)

  Node has a rarely-used feature where you can extend the set of directories that node searches for packages using the NODE_PATH environment variable. While esbuild supports this too, previously a bug prevented esbuild's watch mode from picking up changes to imported files that were contained directly in a NODE_PATH directory. You're supposed to use NODE_PATH for packages, but some people abuse this feature by putting files in that directory instead (e.g. node_modules/some-file.js instead of node_modules/some-pkg/some-file.js). The watch mode bug happens when you do this because esbuild first tries to read some-file.js as a directory and then as a file. Watch mode was incorrectly waiting for some-file.js to become a valid directory. This release fixes this edge case bug by changing watch mode to watch some-file.js as a file when this happens.
