A statement like one below today is treated as a strong import by ts-helper, and triggers cycle detection.

import { type Foo } from "./foo";

However, TypeScript compilation omits the entire statement and as such it is equivalent to this one that does not trigger cycle detection:

import type { Foo } from "./foo";

If you accept this PR, you might also want to adjust the section right below that handles the exports:
