Subject: [PATCH] Fix ES module __dirname error in payload config
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Resolves: ReferenceError: __dirname is not defined in ES module scope
- Import fileURLToPath from 'url' module
- Create __filename and __dirname using ES module pattern
- Maintains compatibility with TypeScript output file path resolution
