Problem & expected behavior (under 200 words)

When all of these five conditions are met, this script is for some reason not running:

• You are running node version 21
• The command is run in a turborepo based repo
• The script is running tsx in watchmode
• The package.json has type: "module" in it.
• The script is importing from node:process

It seems that if one of these condition are NOT met, then the script executes successfully. I've pondered if I should've raised this issue in turborepo instead but I'm going to start here.

---

I expect to see You don't see me because I'm importing 'process' when I run pnpm turbo dev2 when standing in the root. Currently I'm not seeing that, not even an error.

Closing because I found a fix for this. Turns out that if I enable the new "experimental UI" mode in turbo.json, it works! Closing this for now.
