Description
Description
Bit of an odd one that I can't quite figure out. react-map-gl has a peer dependency on maplibre-gl. If I end up with a upgrade of maplibre-gl from 5.11.0 to 5.12.0 (or 5.13.0) I get an error in the browser console, and the map doesn't render:
Browser console:
dbf3e5f8-162b-4b7e-8…-d8d408c9388f:17308 Uncaught ReferenceError: _define_property is not defined

I guess it's a maplibre-gl problem, but I'm using it from react-map-gl and getting confused. Am I doing anything stupid in the attached sandbox?
Expected Behaviour
Works the same between maplibre-gl@5.11.0 and maplibre-gl@5.12.0 (or 5.13.0)
Steps to Reproduce
Environment
Framework version: react-map-gl@8.1.0
Map library: maplibre-gl@5.12.0
Browser: Chrome 142.0.7444.176
OS: Windows 11 25H2 26200.7171

Research direction
Start with the attached sandbox.zip and reproduce the browser ReferenceError while switching between maplibre-gl 5.11.0 and 5.12.0 or 5.13.0. Compare the package behavior and browser output; done means the map renders without the _define_property error on the newer versions, or the incompatibility is clearly isolated.
