TypeScript and package.json type module (ESM) shows "ExperimentalWarning: --experimental-loader"

[MikeMcC399]

Current behavior

If package.json is configured with Node.js type field set to module (instead of left undefined or set to commonjs), Typescript is installed and config.cypress.ts is present, then the following warning is output when running Cypress:

(node:3666) ExperimentalWarning: --experimental-loader may be removed in the future; instead use register():
--import 'data:text/javascript,import { register } from "node:module"; import { pathToFileURL } from "node:url"; register("file%3A///home/mike/.cache/Cypress/13.15.0/Cypress/resources/app/node_modules/ts-node/esm/transpile-only.mjs", pathToFileURL("./"));'
(Use node --trace-warnings ... to show where the warning was created)

Desired behavior

Cypress should not show any warning when set up as a TypeScript project and package.json includes "type": "module" for an ESM project.

Test code to reproduce

git clone --branch ts-module https://github.com/MikeMcC399/cypress-test-tiny

Debug Logs

(node:3666) ExperimentalWarning: `--experimental-loader` may be removed in the future; instead use `register()`:
--import 'data:text/javascript,import { register } from "node:module"; import { pathToFileURL } from "node:url"; register("file%3A///home/mike/.cache/Cypress/13.15.0/Cypress/resources/app/node_modules/ts-node/esm/transpile-only.mjs", pathToFileURL("./"));'
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)

Other

Typescript version: 5.6.2

• Overlaps with ERR_INTERNAL_ASSERTION with Node.js >= v22.1.0 and experimental-detect-module set #30101
• Remains after resolving Cypress + Vite 5 + Typescript: exports is not defined in ES module scope #30313

With Node.js 22.11.0 LTS there is an additional warning

(node:6696) [DEP0180] DeprecationWarning: fs.Stats constructor is deprecated.

which comes from ts-node (see issue TypeStrong/ts-node#2116)
