app.asar carries no node_modules, so main's bare requires resolve only out of
Resources/node_modules. emojibase-data is a devDependency and is not in the
packaged runtime allowlist, so the new createRequire in
deferred-emoji-shortcode-dataset.ts threw MODULE_NOT_FOUND in every packaged
build — breaking sanitizeWorktreeName, and with it workspace creation.
Copy the single 166 KB dataset (not the 49 MB package root) into
Resources/node_modules, and gate every createRequire'd bare specifier in
src/main against the packaged resource plan. verifyPackagedMainRuntimeDeps
cannot catch these: the bundler renames the require binding.
