[Issue with @swc/jest] `exclude` property being ignored

I have a .swcrc file that has a exclude like

"exclude": [
    "src/tests",
    "src/migrations",
    "\\..*spec\\.ts$"
  ]

because I don't want the build to have the test files, but when trying to replace the exclude in the jest.config.ts file like this

transform: {
    '^.+\\.(t|j)s$': ['@swc/jest', {
      ...swcConfig,
      sourceMaps: 'inline',
      exclude: [],
    }],
  },

When running the tests everything fails due to this error

cannot process file because it's ignored by .swcrc

If I remove the exclude from the .swcrc file everything works as expected.

Reproduce the failure using the .swcrc and jest.config.ts configurations shown in the issue, then run the affected Jest tests through @swc/jest. Trace how the exclude setting is read and overridden; done means the Jest configuration can override the .swcrc exclusion without producing “cannot process file because it's ignored by .swcrc”.
