Weird error when defining server route outside of /routes folder

I have a server route created in

// src/routes/api/orders/index.ts
import { createOrderApi } from "@/server/orders/api"

export const Route = createOrderApi

// src/routes/api/orders/index.ts
import { createOrderApi } from "@/server/orders/api"

export const Route = createOrderApi

and here's the api implementation (simplified)

// src/server/orders/api.ts
export const createOrderApi = createFileRoute('/api/orders')({
  server: {
    handlers: ({ createHandlers }) =>
      createHandlers({
        POST: {
          middleware: [loggerMiddleware],
          handler: async ({ request }) => {
            return new Response('Hello, World! from ' + request.url)
          },
        },
      }),
  },
})

// src/server/orders/api.ts
export const createOrderApi = createFileRoute('/api/orders')({
  server: {
    handlers: ({ createHandlers }) =>
      createHandlers({
        POST: {
          middleware: [loggerMiddleware],
          handler: async ({ request }) => {
            return new Response('Hello, World! from ' + request.url)
          },
        },
      }),
  },
})

And then I would get this error in the browser

Works fine when I move the api implementation back to src/routes/api/orders/index.ts Not sure if this is expected

thats not supported. routes must be exactly following the syntax

export const Route = createFileRoute('/api/orders')({
...

export const Route = createFileRoute('/api/orders')({
...
