Installing @thirdweb-dev/contracts in a Pipedream Node.js step fails, which also blocks @thirdweb-dev/sdk. The package authors put the ethers requirement in devDependencies of the SDK package.json, and Pipedream only installs production dependencies, so the import breaks.

Import ethers explicitly above the thirdweb import, for example import { ethers } from "ethers@5", instead of relying on the transitive dependency. A user confirmed this plus the Node 18 runtime upgrade fixed their workflow.
