Relay node_modules lived inside `~/.orca-remote/relay-<version>+<hash>`, so any byte change in `src/relay/` or the `src/shared/` it pulls in minted a new directory and a fresh `npm install node-pty@1.1.0 @parcel/watcher@2.5.6`. On Linux node-pty has no prebuild, so that is a node-gyp source compile on every new bundle — eight of the fifteen deploy minutes, daily, on a dependency set that is a pinned constant (#18009). The tree now lives at `~/.orca-remote/native/<platform>-<depsHash>/node_modules` and each relay directory symlinks to it. depsHash covers RELAY_NATIVE_DEPS, an explicit epoch, and the bytes of every shipped `node-pty-*` patch artifact, so a patch change mints a new entry rather than leaving hosts on a stale tree. Three rules make one tree safe to share: - A published entry is immutable. `.deps-complete` is written last, only after a probe on that host loaded both addons. Nothing installs, rebuilds or resets into a published entry: every `npm install` is prefixed with a symlink detach, so a repair on one directory can never `rm -rf node_modules/node-pty` out from under a live relay sharing the tree. - Publication elects one winner with `mkdir`, so no client-side lock is needed and two deploys never write one tree. A loser keeps its own copy. - Every failure degrades to today's per-directory install. GC follows remote-install-gc.ts' discipline: a listing that does not end in its own OK token, an unreadable link, or a reference whose shape this client never writes aborts the whole pass. Deletion is tombstone-rename, re-read references under the rename, then remove — a deploy that linked between the listing and the rename gets its tree moved back. It only runs for a connection that could compute a key, and never removes a pinned one. Migration: a first deploy after this ships seeds its tree from a sibling relay directory whose manifest pins the same versions, so an existing host does not recompile once more. The seed is not trusted — it is a plain private install until the normal probe loads it, and only then is it published. Windows keeps the per-directory install: node-pty ships win32 prebuilts, so there is no compile to avoid, and the console-list agent patch mutates the installed tree in place, which rule 1 forbids for a shared one. The POSIX scripts are exercised against a real tree under both /bin/sh and dash, not just asserted on as strings.
