For Bugs

When dependencies are symlinked, e.g. when using PNPM, packages cannot get resolved.

Expected Behavior

Package resolution shouldn't be layout-dependent.

Actual Behavior

Package resolution breaks when dependencies aren't organized in legacy layout.

How can we reproduce the behavior?

$ pnpm install -D fusuma
$ pnpx fusuma init
$ pnpx fusuma start
