[bug] Can't resolve 'stream' node.js issue on v1.7.17 regression.

Link to minimal reproducible example

https://stackblitz.com/edit/github-g1lym3j3

Steps to Reproduce

Update package.json to v1.7.17

"@reown/appkit": "^1.7.17",
"@reown/appkit-adapter-ethers": "^1.7.17",
"@reown/appkit-siwe": "^1.7.17",

Now we get an error that a node.js dependency is now required on the client build.

Error: "stream" is a built-in Node.js module and cannot be imported in client-side code.

Downgrading to v1.7.16, seems like a regression.

Summary

Updating to v1.7.17 gives a node.js 'stream' issue.

Downgrading to v1.7.16, doesn't have this issue.
