+          #
+          # The binding worry is obsolete: the committed lockfile records 25
+          # rollup platform variants, and `npm ci` on Linux installs precisely
+          # rollup-linux-x64-{gnu,musl} and @esbuild/linux-x64. Verified, along
+          # with a clean tsc, a successful build and 752 passing tests from the
+          # resulting tree.

+          # Do not "fix" a future dependency error by deleting the lockfile
+          # again. If `npm ci` refuses, package.json and the lockfile have
+          # genuinely diverged, and the fix is to commit an updated lockfile.
