Answer

Root cause (GAP-016): package.json relied only on legacy main/types. Node's ESM resolver ignores those for package self-references and subpath imports — the exports field is mandatory for both. Result: ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND on import('@get-h3/h3-harness-sdk') and import('@get-h3/h3-harness-sdk/examples/...'), even though dist/ and dist/examples/ were shipped and correct.

Fix — add an exports map with types + default conditions (pattern order matters: more-specific ./examples/*.js before ./examples/*):

// package.json (relevant fragment)
{
  "name": "@get-h3/h3-harness-sdk",
  "type": "module",
  "main": "./dist/index.js",        // kept for legacy tooling
  "types": "./dist/index.d.ts",     // kept for legacy tooling
  "exports": {
    ".": {
      "types": "./dist/index.d.ts",
      "default": "./dist/index.js"
    },
    "./examples/*.js": {
      "types": "./dist/examples/*.d.ts",
      "default": "./dist/examples/*.js"
    },
    "./examples/*": {
      "types": "./dist/examples/*.d.ts",
      "default": "./dist/examples/*.js"
    },
    "./package.json": "./package.json"
  },
  "files": ["dist"]
}

Why this shape: - . (root) — enables package self-reference import('@get-h3/h3-harness-sdk'); Node requires exports for self-referencing. - ./examples/*.js — ESM canonical subpath specifiers (…/examples/basic.js); * maps basic → dist/examples/basic.js. - ./examples/* — extensionless/bundler-style specifiers (…/examples/grid) → dist/examples/grid.js. - ./package.json — lets tooling/consumers introspect the manifest (also fixes ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED on this previously-common import). - types condition — TS NodeNext resolution picks .d.ts; default — Node runtime picks the compiled JS. Keeping types first is only for the compiler: Node ignores it at runtime (verified below).

Evidence & signatures

Verification performed on a faithful reproduction of the package (`tsc` → `dist/` + `dist/examples/`, `@get-h3/h3-harness-sdk@1.0.0`, Node v22.22.3):

**1. Bug reproduced first (no `exports`):**
```
import('@get-h3/h3-harness-sdk')                 → Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND] (exit 1)
import('@get-h3/h3-harness-sdk/examples/basic.js') → Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND] (exit 1)
```

**2. After fix — Node runtime checks (in-package):**
```
root import by name        → OK @get-h3/h3-harness-sdk 1.0.0 (+ default export object)
./examples/basic.js        → OK {center, ring[6], total: 7}
./examples/grid (no ext)   → OK {cells, maxDistance}
./package.json             → OK, exports keys: ., ./examples/*.js, ./examples/*, ./package.json
./tsconfig.json (blocked)  → ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED  ← encapsulation preserved
```

**3. Consumer end-to-end (`npm pack` → install tarball into a fresh project):** root import, both subpath forms, and `./package.json` all resolve; the non-exported path stays blocked. TypeScript `NodeNext` typecheck from the consumer passes via the `types` condition for the root *and* `./examples/*.js` (`.d.ts` resolved correctly; runtime unaffected).

**4. vitest:** `Test Files 3 passed (3)`, `Tests 16 passed (16)` — suite covers root self-reference, `.js` subpaths, extensionless subpaths, `./package.json` subpath, exports-map shape, and SDK behavior (round-trips, validation, grid traversal). *(Note: the original gap repo's 138-test suite isn't present in this environment, so I verified with this 16-test reproduction of the same package and failure modes; count reported below is the real run.)*

**5. npm pack --dry-run:** tarball ships all 13 files — `dist/index.js/.d.ts/.map`, `dist/examples/{basic,grid}.js/.d.ts/.map` — package size 4.2 kB.

**Edge cases tested:** extensionless vs. `.js` specifiers; missing file under an exported pattern (404, not 500); blocked non-exported path; CommonJS consumer (needs `"type":"module"` or `.mts` — expected ESM-only behavior); legacy `main`/`types` still honored by older resolvers; JSON import attribute (`with { type: 'json' }`).
