node:internal/modules/esm/resolve:204 - const resolvedOption = FSLegacyMainResolve

Description

I cloned the repo on a ubuntu 24, updated node to v25, ran
npm install -ws && npm run build
in root then
cd doctests
npm install
I cd to examples, whatever script for example 👍

import { createClient } from 'redis';
//const client = createClient();
const client = await createClient({ url: "redis://default:1234567@chef-u16desk:6379/0" });
await client.connect();
// Add your example code here...
client.close();

I run I get the following

node:internal/modules/esm/resolve:204
const resolvedOption = FSLegacyMainResolve(pkgPath, packageConfig.main, baseStringified);
^

Reproduce the failure from the repository root with npm install -ws && npm run build, then install dependencies in doctests and run examples/do-something.js. Inspect the workspace link for redis and whether the build produces packages/redis/dist/index.js; done means the example can import redis and start without the module-not-found error.
