Cannot access 'browser' before initialization

[Stadly]

Describe the bug

I get a Cannot access 'browser' before initialization error when running Vitest Browser Mode. The error came after updating to Vitest 3.1.1

13:52:14 [vite] (ssr) Error when evaluating SSR module /node_modules/@sveltejs/kit/src/runtime/control.js: Cannot access 'browser' before initialization

Reproduction

https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitest-cannot-access-browser?file=vitest.workspace.ts

Created like this:

1. New StackBlitz from SvelteKit template
2. npx sv add and select vitest
3. npx init vitest browser:
   ✔ Choose a language for your tests › TypeScript
   ✔ Choose a browser provider. Vitest will use its API to control the testing environment › playwright
   ✔ Choose a browser › chromium
   ✔ Choose your framework › svelte
   ✔ Install Playwright browsers (can be done manually via 'pnpm exec playwright install')? … yes
4. npm run vitest:browser

I get the same error locally in my Dev Container, so I don't think it is due to issues with Playwright and StackBlitz.
