typescript auto import includes from node_modules

[scarf005]

Type: Bug

including from node_modules should be opt-out by default, because 99% of time you do not want to import from node_modules.
adding exclude: ["node_modules"] in tsconfig.json doesn't work either.
neither version from, typescript 5.8.3 installed from node_modules nor 5.9.0-dev.20250429 fixes this issue.
