node-resolve plugin discards this re-exported file

[AncientSwordRage]

• Rollup Plugin Name: @rollup/plugin-node-resolve
• Rollup Plugin Version: 16.0.3
• Rollup Version: 4.52.0
• Operating System (or Browser): Linux
• Node Version: 20 +
• Link to reproduction (⚠️ read below): https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-os2s19kt?file=src%2FApp.tsx

Expected Behavior

The re-export of ./util.inspect.js by object-expect should not be discarded, causing a run time failure.

index.js contains these lines

var utilInspect = require('./util.inspect');
var inspectCustom = utilInspect.custom;
var inspectSymbol = isSymbol(inspectCustom) ? inspectCustom : null;

This require should be preserved, as './util.inspect' contains just this line:

module.exports = require('util').inspect;

Actual Behavior

The require statement is mangled at some point:

vendor chunk (Zt is equivalent to v in the index chunk):

    var M = Zt // <--- error here
      , B = M.custom
      , re = J(B) ? B : null

index chunk

const p = {}
  , h = Object.freeze(Object.defineProperty({
    __proto__: null,
    default: p
}, Symbol.toStringTag, {
    value: "Module"
}))
  , v = f(h)

so that this error is produced (see repro link above):

Uncaught ReferenceError: Cannot access 'Zt' before initialization
    at _e (vendor-o4ka1zf0.js:9:5572)
    at In (vendor-o4ka1zf0.js:12:15964)
    at Fn (vendor-o4ka1zf0.js:12:19479)
    at Tn (vendor-o4ka1zf0.js:12:30519)
    at vendor-o4ka1zf0.js:12:30590

Additional Information

On my actual build (not the stack blitz) at what files are 'available' via source map, the whole 'util.inspect.js' file is missing

It looks like this is a known compatibility issue: object-inspect/issues/18

Which has been reported and 'fixed' before: rollup-plugin-node-resolve/pull/183

And I found this part of the docs: Resolving Built-Ins (like fs).

But I haven't gotten it to work, but I've updated the repro link to reflect what that doc says

edit: You need to call npm run build && npm run preview to see this
