Pino transports in combination with node 20 and --import throw an uncaught exception

[Raynos]

I have code like the following

  const loggerOptions: LoggerOptions = {
    level: (IS_TEST ? 'warn' : process.env.LOG_LEVEL || 'debug') as Level,
    transport:
      ENVIRONMENT === 'development' && !IS_TEST
        ? {
            target: 'pino-pretty',
            options: {
              colorize: true,
              translateTime: true,
            },
          }
        : undefined,
    base: baseFields,
    mixin: () => {
      return { taskArn };
    },
  };

This means i am conditionally using the pino-pretty transport only in development and I am using pino@8.7.0

This throw the following exception

}

Node.js v20.9.0
 ELIFECYCLE  Command failed with exit code 1.

I run my entire program with

TZ=UTC IS_ADMIN_TOOLS=1 node --import=../../shared/bob-tsm-hooks.cjs src/index.ts

The combination of a transport, a worker thread and the --import flag makes the worker thread itself throw an exception.

It's also because my code actually calls

const $dirname = new URL('.', import.meta.url).pathname;

inquirer.registerPrompt('autocomplete', inquirerPrompt);
process.chdir($dirname);

I imagine this process.chdir() also makes a mess of things.

I spend half an hour debugging it before i disabled the pino-pretty transport and identified this was the source of the uncaught.

I'm not 100% sure how to fix this, this seems an alignment of conditions that cause the problem.

Any chance would you be up for a PR?
