### Forge version

7.11.1

### Electron version

36.5.0

### Operating system

window 11

### Last known working Forge version

7.11.1

### Expected behavior

The @electron-forge/plugin-auto-unpack-natives plugin should automatically unpack native modules like serialport and ensure they work properly within the Electron app.

### Actual behavior

Despite configuring the @electron-forge/plugin-auto-unpack-natives plugin, the serialport native module is not being unpacked, causing it to fail to work correctly.

### Steps to reproduce

Create a new Electron app using the command npx create-electron-app@latest my-app --template=vite-typescript.

Install and configure the @electron-forge/plugin-auto-unpack-natives plugin.

Install the serialport module and reference it in the project.

Run the app and check whether the serialport module is properly unpacked and working.
