ai-credentials exports are ESM-only, blocking CommonJS consumers like Positron's extensions/authentication

[sharon-wang]

Problem

extensions/authentication in Positron can't import from ai-credentials, even though it wants CUSTOM_CLIENT_KIND_AUTH_MAP from ai-credentials/types instead of keeping its own local copy.

Why

extensions/authentication compiles to CommonJS (no "type": "module", module: nodenext). Node resolves a package's CommonJS require() calls using the require condition in that package's exports map. ai-credentials/package.json only defines types and import conditions, no require, so it's ESM-only and can't be loaded from a CommonJS consumer.

For comparison, ai-config (which Positron already depends on) defines both import and require for its exports, which is why that one works fine as a dependency here.

Ask

Add a require condition to ai-credentials's package.json exports map, matching the pattern already used by ai-config, so CommonJS consumers like Positron's extensions/authentication can depend on it directly instead of duplicating its types/constants locally.

Note for whoever picks this up

Double-check there isn't a deliberate reason ai-credentials was kept import-only (e.g. it pulls in something without a safe CJS story) before just copying the ai-config exports shape over.
