Problem & expected behavior (under 200 words)

What happened: tsImport() throws ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND on Node 24 when a CommonJS-context .ts file imports a dependency from an ESM package. Works on Node 22.

What I expected: Same behavior on Node 24 as Node 22 (load succeeds).

Matrix with [email protected]: Node 22.13.1 ✓, 22.18.0 ✓, 24.12.0 ✗, 24.15.0 ✗.

The repro mirrors @sanity/pkg-utils's loadConfig(): tsImport(pathToFileURL(configFile).toString(), import.meta.url) where configFile is a CJS-context package.config.ts doing import { defineConfig } from '@sanity/pkg-utils'.
