Describe the Bug

Tried installing @million/lint with a Vite project running React 17.0.2. Can't start anything with errors about trying to import react-dom/client.

react-reconciler has a peer dep for react ^18.3.1. This causes it to be installed by npm in node_modules/@million/lint/node_modules/react. The code to detect the React version looks like it checks via import { version } from 'react' which will resolve to the react version installed by the react-reconciler peer dependency, not the version in the workspace.

Not sure if this is an npm issue only, but the default behavior of npm 7+ is to install peer dependencies that are unmet. So it's expected behavior from npm based on the packages.

What's the expected result?

@million/lint working with React 16.8 - 17 when using npm

@ogi-joo if this helps, reverting to 1.0.0-rc.18 seems to solve the issue for me for the time being

When I switched to 1.0.0-rc.18, a new issue occurred 😢

@mountEvarus @bingoYB Well I don't use million, but another package which also has problem with react-reconciler.

I use React 19 RC and it doesn't work. Only when I downgrade. I think this is similar problem to mine.

So there has to be some workaround or we wait for react-reconciler patch? Idk
