fix(platforms): visible ever-jobs sidecar status + Node20 ESM CommonJS fix

User: 'ran all platforms but only LinkedIn fetched.' Root cause: the 160+
ever-jobs platforms need the NestJS sidecar on :3001, which fails to start
on HF — and the failure was SILENT (returned 0, so only direct scrapers
showed results).

Two fixes:
1. Visibility (guaranteed): before adding the ever-jobs scraper, health-check
the sidecar. If UP, log 'sidecar UP — N platforms enabled'. If DOWN, log a
loud warning that those N platforms are SKIPPED this run and only direct
scrapers ran. No more silent zero.

2. Node-20 ESM startup attempt: the prior NODE_OPTIONS
'--experimental-specifier-resolution=node' was REMOVED in Node 20, so it
never applied — that's why the sidecar kept failing with
ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND on extensionless imports. New approach: force ts-node
to emit CommonJS (TS_NODE_COMPILER_OPTIONS module=commonjs +
TS_NODE_TRANSPILE_ONLY), where extensionless relative imports resolve.

Honest note: fix #2 is a best-effort attempt on a third-party NestJS monorepo
I can't run live here; if it still fails, fix #1 ensures the user clearly
sees that the 160+ platforms were skipped (vs silent confusion), and the 6
direct scrapers continue working.
