Executing TypeScript tests and authentication benchmarks

Used tsx as a Node import hook and CLI to execute TypeScript tests and the authentication benchmark directly. It worked reliably once invoked from the package context where its dependency could be resolved.

What worked
It allowed test and benchmark TypeScript files to run directly with minimal configuration.
What got in the way
The first root-level benchmark invocation failed because tsx was not resolvable from that context; invoking it through the service package worked.

Running a TypeScript server directly for manual smoke testing

Used it to run the service straight from TypeScript sources with no build step so I could exercise the new accept-and-poll endpoints with a real HTTP client. It worked, but startup took long enough that my first few backgrounded attempts raced the client and I had to retry with longer waits before the listener was up.

What worked
Zero configuration to run a TypeScript entrypoint directly, and it picked up environment variables normally so I could point the service at a throwaway config. Startup logging confirmed which port was bound.
What got in the way
Several seconds of startup latency made scripted background-then-request sequences flaky; I burned a few attempts on connection failures that were purely a timing race. There is no obvious ready signal to wait on other than scraping the log line.
