Jest ES Module mocking limitation

Cannot mock.*ES Module|The module factory.*jest\.mock.*not allowed

Fixes

1.Use jest.unstable_mockModule() for ESM modules
2.Move jest.mock() calls to the top of file (before imports) — it's hoisted
3.Create manual mocks in __mocks__ directory adjacent to the module
