Let devtools reuse compatible TypeScript and Vite installs (#254)

The devtools CLI pinned typescript 6.0.3 and vite 8.1.5 exactly, so every
consumer installed a second copy at exactly those versions. Depend on
typescript >=5.9.0 <7.0.0 and vite ^8.1.5 instead. Both stay regular
dependencies: the CLI must work with zero setup, and TypeScript 7 does not
ship the JavaScript compiler API that project inspection parses with.

+Install the devtools CLI without pinning a second exact TypeScript or Vite.

+`@typeonce/effect-machine-devtools` now depends on `typescript` `>=5.9.0 <7.0.0` and `vite` `^8.1.5` instead of exact versions, so a package manager can reuse compatible versions your project already has. No setup changes are required: the CLI still works when your project uses neither, or uses TypeScript 7.

 The current release requires Node.js 22.19 or newer and stable Effect `^4.0.0`.
 
+The CLI brings its own TypeScript parser and Vite server, so a project does not need to install either. They are regular dependencies with ranges (`typescript` `>=5.9.0 <7.0.0`, `vite` `^8.1.5`), so a package manager can reuse a compatible version the project already has. The project can use any TypeScript version, including TypeScript 7. Devtools only parses source files with the JavaScript compiler API, which TypeScript 7 does not ship, so it keeps its own 5.9–6.x copy in that case.
