JSR registry publish fails with "Unknown module" error for Svelte components

[kotkoroid]

Describe the bug

When attempting to publish a Svelte component library to the JSR registry, the publish process fails with the error Expected a JavaScript or TypeScript module, but identified a Unknown module. Importing these types of modules is currently not supported.

The error appears to be caused by dist/index.js containing references to .svelte files, which JSR doesn't recognize as valid module types. Is the recommended solution to transpile all .svelte files to .js before publishing? Does the Svelte compiler support this?

Several Svelte libraries are already available on JSR, but the build process for component libraries isn't clear from any of the documentations.
