Stabilization Tracking: Javascript

[tobni]

This is a stabilization tracking ticket for the Javascript backend. Items here are intended to be resolved in order to remove the "experimental" label from Javascript support:

For stabilization

• Install entire node project when creating node_modules digest, subset in sandboxes #19236
• Integrity files collide when generating node modules #19235
• Port javascript dep inference to Rust #19237
• Support test report generation in node_test_script #19238
• Implement support for pants export exporting node_modules #19239
• Write documentation for javascript backend #19241
• Create example repositories leveraging javascript backend #19242

...This list is currently not exhaustive.

Also:

• javascript: node_modules should be immutable_input_digests #19054

Adding some notes here for related items:

• Discussion: Javascript/Typescipt support #17357
• Typescript support: Add support for Javascript / Typescript #14190
  • Draft PR for typescript support: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/pull/20208/files
