core: augment the modules that declare the LiveObjects channel types - #2344
Importing a package's liveobjects entry point is meant to declare channel.object, but in a typical app it didn't:
import{createRealtimeClient}from'@ably/pubsub-server';import{LiveObjects}from'@ably/pubsub-server/liveobjects';constchannel=createRealtimeClient({ key,plugins: { LiveObjects }}).channels.get('c');channel.object;// TS2339: Property 'object' does not exist on type 'RealtimeChannel'
The same happened for @ably/pubsub-device channels and for HttpChannel.object from createHttpClient. It reproduces on TypeScript 4.9 and 5.6, under nodenext, bundler and node resolution.
Cause
The LiveObjects declarations add object by augmenting '@ably/pubsub-core', the package root. The root doesn't declare RealtimeChannel or HttpChannel. It only re-exports them through export * (index.d.ts → ./ably → ./types / ./http).
TypeScript merges such an augmentation into the original declaration only when the root is otherwise part of the program. Neither per-side package loads the root:
@ably/pubsub-server reaches the channel types through @ably/pubsub-core/api.
@ably/pubsub-device reaches them through @ably/pubsub-core/device.
Fix
liveobjects-types.d.ts now augments '@ably/pubsub-core/types', which declares RealtimeChannel.
liveobjects-http.d.ts now augments '@ably/pubsub-core/http', which declares HttpChannel.
@ably/pubsub-core gets a types-only ./http subpath export so that module name resolves. packages/tsconfig.json gets the matching path mapping.
Why the package test didn't catch it
src/index-liveobjects.ts in the package test already uses channel.object. But src/ compiles as one program, and ReactApp.tsx loads @ably/pubsub-device/liveobjects/react, whose useObject.d.ts imports @ably/pubsub-core. That pulls the root into the program, and the old augmentation works there.
The new isolated-typecheck/ folder is a separate program that loads only the server and device entry points and their liveobjects entry points. It checks object on server realtime, server HTTP and device channels. The template's typecheck script runs it after src/.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Improvements
Improved TypeScript support for LiveObjects channel access across server and device clients, including device channel.push.
Added a dedicated HTTP entry point for package type declarations.
Type checks now also validate isolated declarations independently of the main source code.
The change updates LiveObjects declaration module targets, adds the @ably/pubsub-core/http type export and path mapping, and adds isolated typechecks for server and device package entry points.

Summary
Expose and augment declaration modules packages/core/package.json, packages/tsconfig.json, packages/core/liveobjects-http.d.ts, packages/core/liveobjects-types.d.ts
Adds the ./http type export and TypeScript path mapping. Retargets the LiveObjects augmentations to @ably/pubsub-core/http and @ably/pubsub-core/types.
Check package entry points in isolation packages/core-impl/test/package/browser/template/isolated-typecheck/*, packages/core-impl/test/package/browser/template/package.json, packages/core-impl/test/package/browser/template/README.md
Adds a standalone typecheck project and fixture for server and device channel properties. The typecheck script runs the isolated project, and the README describes the check.
ably/ably-pubsub-js#2336: Separates HTTP declarations into packages/core/http.d.ts and introduces HttpChannel, which the HTTP augmentation now targets.
ably/ably-pubsub-js#2338: Adds the device-specific type surface and RealtimeChannel, which the augmentation and isolated device check cover.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 3b800
Consumers who load both the CommonJS and ESM LiveObjects declarations in one NodeNext program with full library checking may hit a TS2717 typecheck error. Resolve or consciously accept this before merging.

A rabbit checks the types at dawn, Through HTTP paths, it hops along. The channels bloom with objects bright, The device can push with all its might. A clean check greets the morning light.
The LiveObjects declarations add `object` to `RealtimeChannel` and
`HttpChannel` by augmenting '@ably/pubsub-core', the package root. The root
only re-exports those interfaces through `export *`, and TypeScript merges
such an augmentation into the original declaration only when the root is
otherwise part of the program. Neither per-side package loads it: server
reaches the channel types through '@ably/pubsub-core/api', device through
'@ably/pubsub-core/device'. So `channel.object` was undeclared in a typical
server or device app, even with the liveobjects entry point imported.
Augment '@ably/pubsub-core/types' and '@ably/pubsub-core/http' instead, the
modules that declare the interfaces, adding a types-only ./http export to
the core so the latter resolves.
The package test's existing `channel.object` usage did not catch this: its
src/ program also loads the React hooks, whose declarations import the core
root. Add isolated-typecheck/, a separate program that loads only the server
and device entry points and their liveobjects entry points, and checks
`object` on server realtime, server HTTP and device channels.

This project selects the ESM declaration exports. The packages also publish separate CommonJS declarations, so this check does not cover the require condition. Add a NodeNext .cts fixture for those exports.

Both LiveObjects entry points load the shared augmentation in this program. The server import can therefore make the device check pass even if the device entry point does not load that augmentation itself. Use separate TypeScript projects for the server and device fixtures.

Avoid conflicting mixed-module augmentations.
When a NodeNext program imports both CommonJS and ESM LiveObjects declarations, TypeScript 5.9 with skipLibCheck: false reports TS2717 because both declarations augment RealtimeChannel.object with different RealtimeObject types. This blocks typechecking.
