Here's the issue that you can subscribe to: youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-87087

09/08/2026, 10:02 AM@Edoardo Luppi, I believe no. It's implemented via BTA, so there is no need to enable it for the TypeScript export. For the regular compilation, there are two implementations, and you choose it via a flag; here, it will be a single implementation via BTA, so no flags will be introduced.
However, we're going to turn this new TypeScript export on by default, with the possibility to opt out of the IR-based one with a Gradle property.
gratitude thank you 1
