i am using puppeteer in a nodejs module

$ cat package.json | jq -r '.type'
module

$ cat package.json | jq -r '.devDependencies.puppeteer'
22.11.0

i have a basic boilerplate as follows

$ cat puppeteer.config.cjs
// empty config

$ cat test.js
import puppeteer from "puppeteer";
import puppeteerConfig from "./puppeteer.config.cjs";
console.log("i am a puppet");

but i get an error upon execution

$ node src/test.js
node:internal/assert:14
    throw new ERR_INTERNAL_ASSERTION(message);
          ^

Error [ERR_INTERNAL_ASSERTION]: This is caused by either a bug in Node.js or incorrect usage of Node.js internals.

}

Node.js v20.14.0

if i change the order of imports, the error is gone

$ cat test.js
import puppeteerConfig from "./puppeteer.config.cjs";
import puppeteer from "puppeteer";
console.log("i am a puppet");

$ node src/test.js
i am a puppet

i cannot debug further and don’t understand why this is happening and would appreciate your help.
