Sweeping every candidate and demanding the marker on all of them was wrong in
the one case it was meant to make safe. `beforeBuild` runs
`rebuild-native-deps.mjs --platform=win32 --arch=<target>`, so a cross-arch slice
normally does get a patched `build/Release` for the target; `prunePackagedNodePty`
keeps the prebuild anyway because its guard is `electronArch === process.arch`
rather than the arch of the binary. That package is correct and its leftover
prebuild is never reached, and the sweep failed it -- telling whoever ran it to
package on a Windows arm64 host, which is both the wrong remedy and one no runner
here can offer.
Presence cannot separate that package from the one whose cross-arch rebuild
quietly emitted the host's architecture, because the only difference is the arch
of `build/Release`. So the gate now resolves the addon the way `loadNativeModule`
does -- first candidate whose PE `IMAGE_FILE_HEADER.Machine` matches the target,
walking root-then-lib for each layout in node-pty's own order -- and checks the
marker on the one that will actually run. A package with no candidate, or none of
the target's architecture, is refused: it has no ConPTY backend either way, and
the second is exactly what a silently host-arch cross-build looks like.
The PE machine reader already existed, privately, in the relay addon builder that
needed the same "a cross-build cannot silently emit host arch" guarantee. It is
now shared rather than copied.
Two seams were unreachable from anything but Windows, so nothing tested them:
- the afterPack hook's win32 block was an inline if/else that only a source-text
assertion could inspect, and that assertion could not tell the difference
between the check running and the check being wrapped in `try {} catch {}`. It
is now `verifyPackagedWindowsNodePty`, and "the marker check runs even where
the export check cannot" is four spied assertions instead of a string match.
- the rebuild path's verdict read `process` directly, so the branch that fires
only on the host being rebuilt for was dead on every other host. It now takes
the host as arguments, and the fs checks, the warning and the failure are all
exercised from macOS.
Fixtures write a real PE header rather than `MZ fake addon`, since the gate now
reads one. The machine table is pinned to the documented IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE
values, because every fixture builds its header from that table and a table wrong
in both entries would otherwise agree with itself.
