Declare vitest in dependencies so consumers do not need to install it.

The root entry re-exports schema and vitest-ext. Both modules import expect from vitest at top level. A consumer whose package manager does not auto-install peers receives no vitest. Importing loadSchema from the package root then fails with Cannot find module 'vitest'. Issue #2659 asks that consumers not need to add vitest themselves, and this declaration does not provide that for these consumers.

Move vitest from peerDependencies to dependencies, then update pnpm-lock.yaml so pnpm install --frozen-lockfile passes. The regression test still passes because it checks dependencies as well. The devDependencies entry can be removed because dependencies now covers it.

Moving the Vitest-dependent exports to a separate entry point is the other option. It changes the public import surface, so it is a larger change.

Review comment at @packages/testtools/package.json at line 59:
Declare vitest as a runtime dependency of the package rather than a peer
dependency so consumers can import loadSchema from the package root without
installing Vitest themselves. Update the lockfile to match and remove any
redundant devDependency entry.

I went with a peer on purpose. vitest-ext calls expect.extend, which only works if testtools and the consumer's tests share the same vitest instance. As a regular dependency, a project on a different vitest version would get a second copy, and the matchers would register on the wrong expect. pnpm and npm 7+ install peers automatically, and yarn warns. That said, happy to switch it to dependencies if the maintainers prefer.

For Vitest 4, what are the documented requirements for importing expect from vitest and registering custom matchers with expect.extend? Can vitest be imported outside the Vitest runner?

Length of output: 15257

@thelastbackspace Thanks for explaining the peer dependency. I withdraw my recommendation to move Vitest to dependencies: a separate copy could cause matcher registration to affect a different expect instance.

The original #2659 concern remains: the root entry imports Vitest, so consumers whose package manager does not install peers can still encounter a missing-module error. The regression test checks declarations, not package loading.

To verify both requirements, I recommend testing the packed package in Jest without Vitest and testing matcher registration in a Vitest consumer. I inspected the source but did not run those tests.
