Description of the issue

SvelteKit generates the $env/* files as TypeScript modules that don't exist as files. To make DX better, but how the .env file is read is left to the platform, so there exist no env.(js|ts) I could add to "paths" in knip.json (similar to https://knip.dev/features/compilers#svelte).

I haven't found the way to just ignore imports starting with $env, and both Claude and ChatGPT hallucinated ignoreImports, so I guess it's not possible.

It would be great to be able to tell knip trust me, this is ok.

(I want to use it in pre-commit hook, but because it exits with code 1 I can't commit anything 😅)

Reproduction:

1. open stack blitz link
2. stop the dev server
3. run npm run knip
4. get following error:

Unresolved imports (1)
$env/static/public  src/routes/+page.svelte:1:9
