* [AI] Enable TypeScript composite project references across monorepo - Add composite and declaration emit to all package tsconfigs - Wire root and per-package project references in dependency order - Replace cross-package include-based typing with referenced outputs - Fix api TS5055 by emitting declarations to decl-output - Add desktop-client alias for tests; fix oxlint import order in vite.config - Add UsersState.data null type and openDatabase return type for strict emit Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> * Remove obsolete TypeScript configuration for API and update build script to emit declarations directly to the output directory. This streamlines the build process and ensures compatibility with the new project structure. * Refactor TypeScript configuration in API package to remove obsolete decl-output directory and update build scripts.

Adjust TypeScript import paths and tsconfig references for improved organization and compatibility across packages. * Enhance Vite configuration for desktop-client to support Electron-specific conditions and update loot-core package.json to include Electron as a platform for client connection. This improves compatibility for Electron builds. * Refactor TypeScript configuration across multiple packages to streamline path management. Update tsconfig.json files in root, api, and loot-core packages to improve import paths and maintain compatibility with internal typings. * Update package dependencies and Vite configuration across component-library and desktop-client. Add vite-tsconfig-paths to component-library and remove it from desktop-client. Refactor Storybook preview file to include a TODO for future refactoring. * Remove Node-specific path from loot-core package.json for client connection, streamlining platform configuration for Electron. * Remove loot-core as a workspace dependency from desktop-electron package.json * Update tsconfig.json to remove reference to desktop-client --------- Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
