@helium/idls package might be misconfigured

I'm trying to import the @helium/idls package but I keep getting a module not found error when running the transpiled node.js.

I think this is happening because the package.json for packages/idls doesn't include the following declarations:

 "main": "./lib/cjs/index.js",
 "module": "./lib/esm/src/index.js",
 "types": "./lib/types/src/index.d.ts",
  
 "exports": {
   "import": "./lib/esm/src/index.js",
   "require": "./lib/cjs/index.js",
   "types": "./lib/types/src/index.d.ts"
  },

I think this means that typescript can "build" just fine but node doesn't know where to find the module inside the package.

Now I'm not sure if I'm just consuming this incorrectly but for now I'm working around this with a module alias in my package.json

  "_moduleAliases": {
    "@helium/idls/lib/types": "./node_modules/@helium/idls/lib/cjs"
  },

Along with require("module-alias/register"); in my index.ts
