CommonJS CommonJS — require() works on every Node.js version

@angular/language-service ships CommonJS only. require("@angular/language-service") works everywhere. import "@angular/language-service" also works because Node.js and Bun can import CommonJS from ES modules, but only the default export is guaranteed; named imports depend on Node's static analysis of the module.
