fix(cli): module federation export under CI, runtime TypeScript

+
+### Changed

+- **`export-dynamic-plugin` (module federation):** while running **`buildFrontend`** with **`isModuleFederationRemote`**, **`CI`** is temporarily set to **`false`** when it was **`true`**, **`1`**, or **`yes`** (case-insensitive), then restored. That avoids Rspack treating CI builds as strict in a way that breaks **`npx`** / **`CI=true`** environments ([rspack#13635](https://github.com/web-infra-dev/rspack/issues/13635)), without **`postinstall`** or patching **`node_modules`**.
+- **`typescript`** is now a **runtime `dependency`** so the published CLI satisfies peers such as **`@module-federation/dts-plugin`** under strict installers (for example **Yarn PnP** with **`yarn dlx`**).
