Malformed expo-modules-core in StackBlitz Node.js

[scottannan]

Describe the bug

Expo's expo-modules-core package consistently installs malformed (index.js is null, build/ directory is missing .js files) in StackBlitz Node.js environments.

Link to the blitz that caused the error

https://stackblitz.com/edit/stackblitz-starters-rsmog8fz?description=Starter%20project%20for%20Node.js,%20a%20JavaScript%20runtime%20built%20on%20Chrome%27s%20V8%20JavaScript%20engine&file=index.js&title=node.new%20Starter

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to https://node.new
2. Open the terminal.
3. Run the commands:

npm install expo@~52.0.0 expo-router@latest react@18.2.0 react-dom@18.2.0 react-native@0.73.6 react-native-web@~0.19.6
npx expo init --no-install # Choose "blank"
npm install
echo "module.exports = function(api) { api.cache(true); return { presets: ['babel-preset-expo'], }; };" > babel.config.js
echo "const { getDefaultConfig } = require('@expo/metro-config'); const config = getDefaultConfig(__dirname, { isCSSEnabled: true, }); module.exports = config;" > metro.config.js
head -n 10 node_modules/expo-modules-core/index.js
ls node_modules/expo-modules-core/build/

The output is incorrect:
module.exports = null;
& within the file, the js files have not been compiled:

This is throwing the TypeError [ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION]: Unknown file extension ".ts" error.

Expected behavior

The expo modules should have compiled into js files.

Parity with Local

• I have run the project in my local machine and I could not reproduce the issue.

+1 when using bolt.new

For me, even when I export the project and run it, I face that issue. So far seems to be with Bolt projects
