`convex@1.28` introduces an undeclared dependency on `react`

I recently attempted upgrading from convex@1.17 and started getting build errors when running convex generate:

> convex codegen

Finding component definitions...
Generating server code...
Bundling component definitions...
Bundling component schemas and implementations...
✘ [ERROR] Could not resolve "react"

    node_modules/.pnpm/convex@1.28.2/node_modules/convex/dist/esm/react/hydration.js:2:24:
      2 │ import { useMemo } from "react";
        ╵                         ~~~~~~~

  You can mark the path "react" as external to exclude it from the bundle, which will remove this
  error and leave the unresolved path in the bundle.

I am not using React in my project.
I have installed the packages with pnpm and have this minimal package.json:

{
    "dependencies": {
        "convex": "^1.27.5",
        "vite": "^6.4.1"
    },
    "scripts": {
        "clean": "rimraf dist convex/_generated",
        "dev-backend": "convex dev",
        "dev-frontend": "vite dev",
        "build-backend": "convex codegen",
        "build-frontend": "tsc && vite build"
    },
    "type": "module",
    "devDependencies": {
        "rimraf": "^6.0.1"
    },
    "packageManager": "pnpm@10.11.1+sha512.e519b9f7639869dc8d5c3c5dfef73b3f091094b0a006d7317353c72b124e80e1afd429732e28705ad6bfa1ee879c1fce46c128ccebd3192101f43dd67c667912"
}


These errors occur for 1.28, 1.29, 1.30, and 1.31.
They do not happen for 1.27.
