Description

I have one file which uses a type export:

export type TopNavStore = {

Which is clearly imported with a type only import in another file:

import { createStore, ZustandProvider, type TopNavStore } from './store';

But it gets flagged with : 35:1 warning exported declaration 'TopNavStore' not used within other modules import/no-unused-modules

The file is a .tsx file from a .ts file if that matters?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the import/no unused modules rule's handling of type only exports and imports. Check if the rule correctly identifies 'export type' and 'import { type ... }' syntax. Look at the rule's source code for type resolution and edge cases.
