Describe the bug

I've been working on Mikro ORM integration with jiti, so we can replace ts-node for transpilation. I decided to add jiti (among other options), because as far as I can tell - it is more compatible with tsc comparing to tsx, and this is very critical, because Mikro ORM relies on legacy decorators and emitDecoratorsMetadata as one of the options to define entities.

However, jiti fails to run code with TS legacy decorators on properties if they're not initialized (even in constructor).

Here's how typical Mikro ORM entity looks like:

import {Entity, PrimaryKey, Property} from "@mikro-orm/core"

@Entity()
export class User {
 @PrimaryKey()
 id!: number

 @Property()
 fullName!: string

 @Property()
 email!: string

 @Property()
 password!: string

 @Property({type: "text"})
 bio = ""
}

This code is valid for TS and other solutions I've been using so far. But if you import it via jiti, or run with jiti/register, you'll see following error:

node:internal/modules/run_main:104
    triggerUncaughtException(
    ^

[Error: TRANSFORM_ERROR: Definitely assigned fields cannot be initialized here, but only in the constructor
