Proposed fix: [TypeScript 6.0] Flood of 'Cannot find name 'process'/'describe'' and TS2307 after upgrade — compilerOptions.types now defaults to [] (no automatic @types inclusion)
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Add an explicit list, e.g. "types": ["node"] (plus "jest"/"mocha"/"bun" as needed) to compilerOptions. "types": ["*"] restores 5.9 behavior.
Option: Declare the global type packages explicitly [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: All TS 6.0 upgrades
Steps:
1. In tsconfig compilerOptions add "types": ["node"] and any test runner types
2. Re-run tsc
Expected: Global identifiers resolve again
