Unable to publish package with bare `npm:` specifier in monorepo

[teneplaysofficial]

I’m trying to publish a package from a monorepo to JSR, but the publish step fails when one package depends on another internal package that’s published to npm.

Example:

import kolory  from "npm:kolory";

When I run npx jsr publish, I get:

Publishing @tene/ansilory@2.0.0 ...
error: Failed to publish @tene/ansilory@2.0.0

Caused by:
    Failed to publish @tene/ansilory at 2.0.0: specifier 'npm:kolory' is missing a version constraint

Context

• Monorepo managed with pnpm
• kolory is another package in the same repo, already published to npm
• ansilory depends on it
• For local dev we use workspace linking (workspace:*), but JSR doesn’t seem to support that.

Question

Is there a way to publish a JSR package that depends on another npm package without hardcoding a version in the npm: specifier?

Or, is the only option to:

• Add an explicit version (npm:kolory@^1.0.0), or
• Publish both packages to JSR and switch to jsr: imports?
