Research direction
Investigate the module resolution configuration in editor.js that causes the TS2351 error when using moduleResolution node16. Look at the package.json exports field and the type definitions to see if the default export is correctly declared. Consider if the issue lies in how EditorJS exports its constructor vs how it is imported in the user's code. Check similar issues in the repository and any recent changes to the build system or tsconfig. Potentially fix by adjusting the type declarations or export statements.
