Please describe the bug

I'm using a TS project with webpack. It is using commonjs. 4.16.0 works perfectly fine but as soon as I switch to the latest 4.17.0, I get runtime errors in the console in the browser because it is trying to use .mjs files. I also saw this PR and thought it would fix it so I tried the latest main version: 4.17.1-main.20240708.c9247bf.

Do you see any errors in console log?

Additional context

No response

Reproduce the crash using a TypeScript project with webpack and CommonJS, starting from the botframework-webchat-api.mjs entry point and the related botframework-webchat-component.mjs stack frames. Compare the 4.16.0 package with 4.17.0 and the referenced PR 5231; done means the page loads without the reported runtime error under the stated setup.
