[Bug]: TypeScript SDK: npm test fails due to missing Develocity mocha reporter dependency

[junaiddshaukat]

What happened?

Running TypeScript SDK tests fails on a fresh clone after npm install:

cd sdks/typescript
npm install
npm test

Error:
Cannot find module '@gradle-tech/develocity-agent/mocha-reporter'
Require stack: sdks/typescript/reporterConfig.js -> cypress-multi-reporters -> mocha ...

Why

sdks/typescript/.mocharc.json configures Mocha to always load reporterConfig.js, and reporterConfig.js hard-requires
@gradle-tech/develocity-agent/mocha-reporter, but @gradle-tech/develocity-agent is not listed in sdks/typescript/package.json devDependencies.

Expected behavior

npm test should run out-of-the-box after npm install (even if the Develocity reporter is not installed).

Proposed fix

Make the reporter optional (fallback to "spec" when the module cannot be resolved), or alternatively add the missing dependency to devDependencies.
