Convert create_build_list function from Python to TypeScript

[Copilot]

Converts the create_build_list function from Python to TypeScript with all required dependencies.

Implementation

Core conversion (10 modules):

• main.py → src/main.ts - Entry point with createBuildList function
• module/files.py → src/module/files.ts - File I/O, hashing (MD5), source change detection
• module/properties.py → src/module/properties.ts - TOML/JSON config management
• module/dependency.py → src/module/dependency.ts - Dependency tree resolution, level-based build ordering
• module/build_cmds.py → src/module/build_cmds.ts - Command generation, parameter substitution
• module/results.py → src/module/results.ts - Markdown result document generation
• module/dict_tools.py → src/module/dict_tools.ts - Deep merge utilities
• module/toml_tools.py → src/module/toml_tools.ts - Config tree navigation
• module/app_config_tools.py → src/module/app_config_tools.ts - Build step resolution (simplified)
• module/obi_constants.py → src/module/obi_constants.ts - Constants

Code quality improvements:

• Replaced JSON.parse(JSON.stringify()) with proper deep clone utility to prevent prototype pollution
• Added BufferEncoding validation for file operations
• Type-safe interfaces for all data structures

Usage

npm run build
node dist/main.js --set-path /path/to/project [--source file.rpgle]

Or programmatically:

import { createBuildList } from './dist/main';
createBuildList({ setPath: '/path/to/project' });

Dependencies

• @iarna/toml (2.2.5) - TOML parsing
• typescript (5.9.3), @types/node (24.10.1) - dev dependencies
• No vulnerabilities, CodeQL clean

Limitations

• app_config_tools.ts has simplified extended source processing (regex/shell/script execution not fully implemented)
• results.ts only includes create_result_doc (output extraction functions not needed)

Original prompt

in main.py there is a function create_build_list
can you convert it to typescript including all other sources which are needed for this function
