Minimal reproduction for @payloadcms/db-sqlite making drizzle-kit/api reachable from an OpenNext Cloudflare server bundle.

1. Install dependencies:

   pnpm install

2. Copy the example environment file:

   cp .env.example .env

3. Build with OpenNext Cloudflare:

   pnpm opennext:build

4. The build fails while OpenNext bundles the server function:

   ERROR: Could not resolve "drizzle-kit-8c53b399dac79e94/api"

5. The intermediate Next output also shows drizzle-kit/api in the traced server files:

   rg "drizzle-kit/api|drizzle-kit-.*api|generateSQLiteMigration|pushSQLiteSchema" .next .open-next

drizzle-kit/api should not be included in the production runtime/server output unless migrations or schema generation are being run.

drizzle-kit/api remains reachable from the SQLite adapter module graph. In this repro, that causes OpenNext Cloudflare server bundling to fail with:

Could not resolve "drizzle-kit-8c53b399dac79e94/api"

The suspected reachable path is:

@payloadcms/db-sqlite
  -> @payloadcms/drizzle/sqlite
    -> requireDrizzleKit
      -> require('drizzle-kit/api')

The relevant Payload import path is:

// packages/db-sqlite/src/index.ts
import { requireDrizzleKit } from '@payloadcms/drizzle/sqlite'

Then the adapter attaches requireDrizzleKit to the adapter object. The implementation eventually loads:

// packages/drizzle/src/sqlite/requireDrizzleKit.ts
const {
  generateSQLiteDrizzleJson,
  generateSQLiteMigration,
  pushSQLiteSchema,
} = require('drizzle-kit/api')
