📦 Package Improvements

c12 install size is now down to 380kB from 3.44MB (20 deps to 7 deps).

Loading TypeScript files is significantly faster (on cold cache) — simple TS config loads ~2.5x faster (bench).

🚀 Migration

• If you need extends feature with remote/git source, install giget as a peer dependency (docs)
• If you are using watchConfig, install chokidar as a peer dependency (docs).
• If you need legacy TypeScript support (mixed ESM/CJS, no import extensions, etc.), install jiti as a peer dependency (c12 automatically falls back) or provide a custom import config (docs).
• Dotenv parsing now uses native runtime features (see #296). You might need to add dotenv as a peer dependency only for legacy/Deno support.
