JEST FIXES ES MODULE RESOLVER LOADING

Jest can now load custom resolvers written as ES modules, closing a gap that forced developers back to CommonJS workarounds.

The jest-resolve module shipped a fix [1] that extends loadResolver to accept ES module exports alongside the existing function and object hook patterns. Previously, importing a resolver written as an ES module would fail validation even if it exported a valid sync or async hook [2]. The change maintains backward compatibility: loadResolver still accepts functions or objects with sync/async properties, but now correctly handles the module format that modern Node.js favors. This solves issue #16284 and closes PR #16332 with a single commit across the repo this period.
