Description

By default Next.js apps come with import alias of @/. I find that when using sidequest, it's failing when the file imports something like @/config

Is it possible to add a configuration option to invoke the job with tsx instead of node --experimental-strip-types?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to add a configuration option to use `tsx` as the runner for job execution instead of `node experimental strip types`, to support TypeScript import aliases.
