Description
eleventy-fetch v4.0.1, eleventy v3.0.0
Files containing eleventy-fetch reliant functions in src/_data are not run when .cjs - switching to ESM solves the issue immediately. No debug messages or errors, seems to not even attempt to run rather than run and fail.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with eleventy-fetch v4.0.1 and Eleventy v3.0.0 using a CommonJS file in src/_data, then compare it with the same file switched to ESM. Trace why the CommonJS file is not attempted and verify that eleventy-fetch-reliant functions in src/_data run without requiring the ESM switch.
