I'm running a payloadcms project with a postgres db. My build process uses pnpm and railpack correctly determined that. I am not using docker.

Upon running pnpm run build, there are errors that a requested module is not found, despite it existing in the filesystem.

pnpm run build

> Build failed because of webpack errors

 ELIFECYCLE  Command failed with exit code 1.

ERROR: failed to build: failed to solve: process "pnpm run build" did not complete successfully: exit code: 1

This same command works on my local system. Even if I remove any references to that specific file, I then get errors from my autogenerated migrations (lines like this: import * as migration_20260117_075704 from './20260117_075704';).

These files do exist in my git repo.
