Explanation

TypeScript compiles down to JavaScript, making JavaScript actions the natural and most suitable custom action type for TypeScript code. You write and develop in TypeScript, then compile (tsc) to JavaScript before publishing. GitHub Actions runners execute the compiled JavaScript directly without needing Docker or any additional runtime. Docker container actions (A) add unnecessary complexity for TypeScript. 'Bash script action' (B) is not a formal action type. Composite run steps (C) are for combining shell commands and existing actions, not for TypeScript logic.
