fix(deps): upgrade ava 6.3.0 → 8.0.1

[megadave19]

What

Upgrades ava from 6.3.0 to 8.0.1.

Why

The functionality affected includes test imports, configuration settings for extensions, compatibility with older Node.js versions, and test filtering behavior, posing a medium risk of breaking existing tests and configurations.

Per-symbol breakdown:

• .only() behavior — 48/100 · needs manual verification
• extensions configuration object — 48/100 · needs manual verification
• Node.js support — 48/100 · needs manual verification
• require('ava') — 48/100 · needs manual verification

Evidence

• require('ava') (renamed): The way to import AVA has changed for CommonJS projects. You must now use 'const {default: test} = require('ava');' instead of 'const test = require('ava');'.
• extensions configuration object (removed): The object form of the 'extensions' configuration is no longer supported. You must now specify extensions as an array.
• Node.js support (removed): Support for Node.js versions 18, 23, and 25 has been removed. AVA now requires Node.js 22.20, 24.12 or newer.
• .only() behavior (behavior-changed): The 'sticky' behavior of '.only()' has been removed, changing how tests are filtered in interactive watch mode.

Changes

• package.json: Bumped ava from 6.3.0 to ^8.0.1

Verification Results

• ✅ TypeScript check passed in isolated Docker sandbox (--network=none)
