CI's island lanes fall back to the development pack (dev-pack.json: Node
24.22.1, no package.json) until the libnode-packs cache exists, so the
smoke test, which verifies a @scriptc/libnode-<platform> package against
the 24.22.0 pin, failed there. It now runs only when SCRIPTC_LIBNODE names
a package directory. The pack package versions follow the 0.4.2 release
(scripts/sync-versions.mjs), which pin.test.ts checks.

Add the @scriptc/libnode-<platform> packs (linux-x64-gnu, linux-arm64-gnu,
darwin-arm64, darwin-x64): the pinned Node.js 24.22.0 built as a stripped
shared library with full ICU and its startup snapshot, the scriptc bridge
compiled against that release's headers, Node's LICENSE and a manifest
with the Node version, NODE_MODULE_VERSION, bridge ABI and file hashes.
packages/libnode-common holds the pin, the build (fetch and verify the
source tarball, configure --shared, build only the libnode target, strip,
stage with headers in a cache keyed by release, flags, platform and
toolchain; the bridge rebuilds in seconds against the cached headers),
a verifier, and a smoke test: a C program that loads a pack the way the
runtime does, starts Node from the snapshot and evaluates expressions
synchronously, asynchronously and throwing.
The libnode-packs workflow builds the packs on native runners, Linux in
the manylinux_2_28 images for a glibc 2.28 floor, caches each libnode
build, smoke-tests and uploads every pack. It never runs in the ordinary
build or test path. The compiler gains the pack lookup (SCRIPTC_LIBNODE,
then the installed package), validation, the nodeIslands.libnode
placements and the license notices for the Node island loader to use.
The bridge source and its C ABI header are the NI-1 bridge agent's,
included here so the packs build; the packs stay private until the
in-process island runtime ships.

Calls into Node now run on one dedicated 64 MB stack with a guard page,
reached by a context switch, and the bridge sets V8's stack limit on it
(bridge ABI 2). Before, a call from an async fiber (512 KB stacks without a
guard page) failed to bootstrap Node, which the dev-mode LLVM differential
showed. The runtime's stack guard follows the switch, and the switch
carries ASan's fiber annotations.
The Node island tests load Node from a libnode pack. Until the NI-13 packs
are published, .github/actions/libnode-dev-pack assembles one for the
Linux x64 test lanes (plain and sanitized): a pinned, checksum-verified
prebuilt libnode of the repository's Node release (24.22.0) and Node's
official headers (packages/libnode-common/dev-pack.json), with the bridge
built against them by build-pack.mjs. The pack is cached by its inputs and
the bridge source, so only a cache miss downloads and builds; the normal
build path never does.
tests/harness/libnode.ts makes a missing pack a failure in those lanes:
island tests skip only off Linux x64 CI without a configured pack. The
bridge smoke test (packages/libnode-common/test/bridge-smoke.c) loads the
pack the way scr_node_island.c does and makes synchronous, throwing and
asynchronous calls through the bridge with the runtime's bootstrap.
IR, LLVM and object outputs of programs that call into Node no longer need
a pack at build time; only executables record one.
