CJS needs explicit named exports, eg not `export *` in `reflection.ts`

[jackfischer]

Describe the bug Very unclear when/how this problem emerged for us in our nextjs application but we're noticing the following error. Queries still succeed!

Reproduction Running any querybuilder based query

 ⚠ [externals]/gel/dist/reflection/index.js
unexpected export *
export * used with module [externals]/gel/dist/reflection/index.js [external] (gel/dist/reflection/index.js, cjs) which is a CommonJS module with exports only available at runtime
List all export names manually (`export { a, b, c } from "...") or rewrite the module to ESM, to avoid the additional runtime code.`

Import trace:
  [externals]/gel/dist/reflection/index.js [external]

  ./utils/auth/authProviderHelpers.ts [Route]
  ./utils/ActivitiesData/sources/gitlab.ts [Route]
  ./pages/api/auth/[...nextauth].ts [Route]

Versions (please complete the following information):

• OS:
• EdgeDB version (e.g. 2.0): 6.10
• EdgeDB CLI version (e.g. 2.0): 7.7.0
• edgedb-js version (e.g. 0.20.10;): Generate 0.6.4, gel 2.1.1
• Node/Deno version: v22.15.0.

+1 to this, it's preventing client side usage of edgeql for server side functions in SolidStart apps.

Looks like this just needs explicit exports in reflection.ts

@jackfischer

Can you share the module and moduleResolution values you use in your tsconfig.json, and which version of TypeScript? We need to do a big remodel of our emitted code in light of the current bundler vs. node16 vs. esm style module setup, so just want to understand which setup gives this side-effect.

[jackfischer]

Of course,

    "module": "ESNext",
    "moduleResolution": "Bundler",

Typescript 5.9.2
