Description
I know that's not a valid module name.
Nonetheless, lowercase filenames build fine and are not treated as modules. I expect the same behavior for hyphenated filenames.
Hyphenated filenames are useful in file system routers where filenames map directly to URLs.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the difference between lowercase and hyphenated filenames described in the issue, then trace the compiler's filename and module-name handling. Add regression coverage for building a hyphenated file without treating it as a module, while preserving validation for actual module names. Done means file-system-router-style hyphenated filenames build successfully.
