 [subpath folder mappings][] in the [subpath exports][] or

-Without `--pending-deprecation`, runtime warnings occur only for exports
-resolutions not in `node_modules`. This means there will not be deprecation
-warnings for `"exports"` in dependencies. With `--pending-deprecation`, a
-runtime warning results no matter where the `"exports"` usage occurs.
+[subpath imports][] fields is deprecated. Use [subpath patterns][] instead.
