Repro

{
  "rules": {
    "@typescript-eslint/consistent-type-imports": 'error'
  }
}

import {
  Controller,
  Logger,
} from '@nestjs/common';
import { ConfigService } from './config/config.service';
import { UserSessionRepository } from '../entities/user-session/user.session.repository';
import { UsersService } from './users/users.service';
import { AuthService } from './auth/auth.service';

Expected Result
I expected the result to work

Actual Result
It "fixes" the code to

import {
  Controller,
} from '@nestjs/common';
import type { Logger } from '@nestjs/common';
import type { ConfigService } from './config/config.service';
import { UserSessionRepository } from '../entities/user-session/user.session.repository';
import type { UsersService } from './users/users.service';
import type { AuthService } from './auth/auth.service';

This causes errors like

Error: Nest can't resolve dependencies of the AppController (?, Function, Function, Function, UserSessionRepository). Please make sure that the argument Function at index [0] is available in the RootTestModule context.

Potential solutions:
- If Function is a provider, is it part of the current RootTestModule?
- If Function is exported from a separate @Module, is that module imported within RootTestModule?
  @Module({
    imports: [ /* the Module containing Function */ ]
  })

I want to say I know this is Nest's problem and not ESLint's. The linter is correctly identifying this import is only used in a type context. But for reasons I really dislike about Nest.js, they use this information in their dependency injection process.

This thread is not really to report a bug, but to ask for advice on how to proceed? Would there be the potential to add an option to consistent-type-imports to regex types not to fix (where I could put my Services)? Or should I just not use this rule in any Nest projects?
