This is exactly what we’re dealing with right now trying to upgrade TypeScript. We’re stuck on an early version of 4.X because of some dependency triangle I haven’t had time to work out.

Hello, I have nearly 10 years of experience dealing with this. Do you need help?

I am sure I could fix it in a few hours - either I fix it within 5 hours or you don't pay anything. My hourly rate is 150 EUR and my email is in my profile.

No disrespect but frankly I don't think you could, I don't think anyone could. It's a giant tangle of grunt and require and special custom build systems.

Ouch, if you're using gulp/grunt/browserify or anything that wasn't invented six months ago then you're doomed anyway :)

I am always perplexed by how many people deny the reality of this. Upgrading TypeScript major versions for any package of non-trivial size and dependencies is often (not always, but often) quite difficult! I wrote about that in my last htmx essay.[0]
