Research direction

Investigate the webpack resolver implementation in the plugin to understand why 'utils' import (resolving to utils/index.js) is not being resolved. Check the similar issue #1124 for previous discussion. Focus on the resolver's handling of directory imports and the extensions configuration. Look for any missing logic that maps a directory import to the index file.
