Reproduction steps

1. After cloning the branch given above, change line 100 of Dockerfile to just cp /fires-server-deploy/package.json /fires-server-build/package.json
2. run docker build . --target fires-server --tag fires-server:latest
3. run the interactive container:

docker run -it --rm --env-file=components/fires-server/.env.docker fires-server /bin/sh

4. cat package.json, observe that it's missing the imports key (this exists in the source package.json)

This can also be verified by trying to run in the container node ace list which crashes as it can't find #start/env

(Apologies for the kinda messy steps, this was the only good reproduction steps I could offer, but you could probably verify it with any package that has imports key set in it's package.json)

Describe the Bug

The imports key is important for ESM based apps, allowing for remapping imports from, e.g., #start/env to ./start/env.js

Without this key in the package.json, Adonis.js applications fail to start.

Expected Behavior

The package.json should be verbatim as it exists in the source of the pnpm deploy package to deploy, only with the packageManager, and dependency related keys replaced (this would give most compatibility with existing software)
