## Error Message
Failed to load external module @ory/elements-react/theme: Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module '/Users/meotimdihia/Sources/myproject/node_modules/@ory/elements-react/dist/client/session-provider' imported from /Users/meotimdihia/Sources/myproject/node_modules/@ory/elements-react/dist/client/index.mjs


    at async (.next/server/chunks/ssr/[root-of-the-server]__52545ad9._.js:7:13)

Next.js version: 15.5.4 (Turbopack)

e.g. the code:

import { frontendClient } from "./frontendClient";

doesn't work, it need to change to

import { frontendClient } from "./frontendClient.mjs";
