These tests don't actually test the new behavior. Please actually include a external file in project, then extract and make sure the are included.
Here's an example of how to unzip and check for file existence: https://github.com/johnnyfekete/wxt/blob/d632e5c3cdd96421662b791c6d6008b32dde666e/packages/wxt/e2e/tests/zip.test.ts#L103-L123

Overview
Adds experimental
autoIncludeExternalSourcesoption to automatically include external source files in zip archives for monorepo setups.When enabled, WXT analyzes the build output to find imported files from outside the extension directory and includes them in the sources zip. This eliminates the need for manual configuration when extensions import from parent/sibling packages.
The feature is disabled by default for backward compatibility and marked as experimental.
Manual Testing
