Description
Mapbox GL Version: 3.6.0
Mapbox GL Draw Version: 1.5.0
After upgrading from Mapbox GL 3.4.0 to 3.6.0, I began getting an error that I've been unable to resolve:
```
Error: node_modules/@types/mapbox__vector-tile/index.d.ts:16:21 - error TS2709: Cannot use namespace 'Point' as a type.
16 loadGeometry(): Point[][];
~~~~~
```
It's failing internally in the `mapbox__vector-tile` library that Mapbox imports. This only fails though if Mapbox GL Draw is also included in the project. Otherwise, it works fine.
MCVE:
`package.json`
```json
{
"name": "map-mcve",
"main": "index.js",
"dependencies": {
"mapbox-gl": "3.6.0",
"@mapbox/mapbox-gl-draw": "^1.5.0"
},
"devDependencies": {
"typescript": "^5.8.3"
}
}
```
`tsconfig.json`
```json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"target": "es2016",
"module": "commonjs",
"esModuleInterop": true,
"strict": true,
}
}
```
And then import `mapbox-gl` into a `index.ts` and run `tsc`.
I was [advised to post an issue here](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-js/issues/13203#issuecomment-2826697027), since this might be fixed by an eventual Typescript migration.
I also have a [SO question open](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79560829/cannot-use-namespace-point-as-a-type-when-updating-mapbox-gl?noredirect=1) for more context.

Research direction
Reproduce the error with the package.json and tsconfig.json shown in the issue, importing mapbox-gl from index.ts and running tsc. Start by inspecting the mapbox__vector-tile declaration containing loadGeometry() and how Mapbox GL Draw affects its types. Done means the MCVE type-checks successfully with mapbox-gl 3.6.0 and Mapbox GL Draw 1.5.0.
