In development mode, $lib always points to the currently running app, rather than the app which declared it.

Describe the bug

If I have two sveltekit apps:

monorepo_root/
├─ application/
│  ├─ foo.js
├─ library/
│  ├─ lib/
│  │  ├─ bar.js

and I import from '$lib/bar.js' in component, it works in isolation, for instance if I run the sveltekit app inside library, but if component is a component linked to app, component' reference to $lib points to app's $lib instead.

Severity

makes monorepo development impractical

serious, but I can work around it.

Additional Information

I can work around it by falling back to ../../...

However, this is fairly impractical, so I think aliasing $lib always to the local project somehow is the optimal fix.
