Steps to reproduce

The @feathersjs/typebox package doesn't export the super useful values module.

Happy to submit a PR for this.

Expected behavior

import { Value } from '@feathersjs/typebox/value';

Value.Cast(DataSchema, ctx.data); // for example

Actual behavior

"Cannot find module"

This is strangely turning out to be more complicated than I thought. For some reason just declaring the exports in our package.json like it is done in TypeBox itself does not work (this is also part of the problem of ESM builds in #2665).

Since the dependency gets installed automatically anyway, I recommend loading it from @sinclair/typebox direclty.

Another workaround would be to load from ./node_modules/ directly. You can go as far as to use subpath exports to make it easier to do this in several files.

@daffl If a package inside node_modules that doesn't support ESM loads a package, any package, it will always pick the CommonJS version, even if the user-land package.json is set to type=module.

You could have also ran into an issue with conditional exports and how you have to the more specific conditions like "node", "deno" and "development" above vague ones like "default" or "browser".

I'm happy to help get these issues expedited... I was hoping to have a CJS problem free year... i've been dealing with this since 2019 as you know.
