Research direction

Start by reproducing the nested Links example, including the Links → OtherModule → Links case, and compare it with the documented .live_component workaround. The issue is resolved when recursive component usage compiles normally without silently failing or producing an unreadable missing-module error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Compile fails silently (or even code keeps working), but when remove _build, you will get some totally unreadable error (module not available).

To bypass the issue, use .live_component and manually pass all the props.

Lets say you have Links with urls prop with link having sublinks. Either direct or Links -> OtherModule -> Links will fail.
