verbatimModuleSyntax is ignored, so unused imports and their side effects are removed

Reproduction

// tsconfig.json
{ "compilerOptions": { "verbatimModuleSyntax": true } }

// package.json
{ "type": "module" }

// polyfill.ts
console.log('polyfill.ts evaluated');
export const installed = true;

// main.ts
import { installed } from './polyfill.ts';
console.log('main.ts');

$ node --import @oxc-node/core/register main.ts
main.ts

$ node main.ts
polyfill.ts evaluated
main.ts

With verbatimModuleSyntax, TypeScript keeps every import that is not marked type, and Node.js' own type stripping does the same. oxc-node removes installed because it is unused, so polyfill.ts never runs.

Environment: @oxc-node/core 0.1.4, Node.js 22.18.0, 24.21.0, and 26.5.0, macOS arm64.

Cause

only_remove_type_imports is hard-coded to false (src/lib.rs#L717).

Suggested fix

only_remove_type_imports: compiler_options
    .and_then(|c| c.verbatim_module_syntax)
    .unwrap_or(false),

fix(oxc-node): carry the vendored source changes as a patch

feat(vpx): run TypeScript scripts with the vendored oxc-node (#2936)
