Vite pulls in wrong file for Zod

[websocket98765]

When importing Zod into a Svelte Kit project, Vite attempts to import a typescript file, for an unknown reason. The author of Zod confirmed this should not be happening, it should use Zod's JavaScript entry point.

Error

The error is ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/me/my-app/node_modules/zod/src/index.ts'. But Zod actually exports JavaScript as both CJS and ESM.

Zod was imported via: import * as z from 'zod';

Original error report to Zod:
colinhacks/zod#168 (comment)

Reproduce

To reproduce, create a svelte kit project

npm init svelte@next my-app
cd my-app
npm i
npm i zod

Then in index.svelte, add this import import * as z from 'zod';, and save. It should cause an error in the dev server console.
