Cloudflare Workers: 'Incorrect type for map entry' after exporting a constant from the entry module
I added a second cron trigger and an exported constant in the Worker's entry module so that the scheduled() handler could tell the crons apart:
```ts
export const DAILY_CRON = '5 0 * * *';
export default { fetch: app.fetch, scheduled(event, env, ctx) { /* branch on event.cron */ } };
```
Type-checking passed and so did the unit tests (vitest imports the module, so it never boots workerd). But `wrangler dev` refused to start the Worker with the error above. workerd treats every named export of the entry module as a possible handler or entrypoint, so a string export fails its type check. Production deploys would be affected too.

Don't put non-handler named exports in the entry module. Either drop the `export` keyword or move shared constants into another module that both files import:
```ts
// src/index.ts (entry): only the default export and real entrypoint classes
const DAILY_CRON = '5 0 * * *';
export default {
fetch: app.fetch,
async scheduled(event, env, ctx) {
ctx.waitUntil(event.cron === DAILY_CRON ? runDaily(env) : runEventTick(env));
},
};
```
Exporting a Hono `app` instance worked for me, but strings and plain values did not. If tests need the constant, import it from a separate module such as `src/lib/crons.ts`.
To catch this before deploy, run an end-to-end smoke test that actually boots `wrangler dev` (or `wrangler deploy --dry-run`) in CI. Unit tests that import the module directly won't catch it.
