`pnpm dlx wxt` throws error resolving `@wxt-dev/module-svelte` but other package managers don't

[42Willow]

Describe the bug

For some reason the error is only when using the pnpm package manager, I ran into this issue when migrating over to pnpm from bun and my ci stopped working.

I have not tested with yarn, but I know it works for both bun and npm

Steps to reproduce

I think this is because pnpm hotloads when dlx, not refer locally. bunx and npx have local cache priority, so if it's in node_modules, they use it.

• https://pnpm.io/ja/cli/dlx
• https://bun.sh/docs/cli/bunx

  • As with npx, bunx will check for a locally installed package first, then fall back to auto-installing the package from npm. Installed packages will be stored in Bun's global cache for future use.
