@yao-pkg/pkg's SEA bootstrap rewrites child_process commands named node --
including the string after a -c flag, exactly the Bash tool's bash -c form --
to the executable itself and stamps PKG_EXECPATH into every child
environment, so a model-issued 'node --version' silently booted the dsh CLI
instead of the machine's Node. Pin the packager as an exact root
devDependency invoked through pnpm exec and patch out the single
patchChildProcess call from the SEA bootstrap bundle; packaged children now
resolve node through PATH like any other process. The third-party notices
drop the build-time tools section: the packager is now a declared, patched
devDependency, so the manifest and patch tiers disclose it.
Add node24-win-x64 as the only supported Windows runtime target and publish it as a py3-none-win_amd64 wheel containing the conventional dsh and ripgrep .exe payload names. Keep Windows ARM64 rejected explicitly so Python cannot claim a carrier that CI and release automation do not build.
Teach the pkg builder to require a native x64 Windows host, validate both node-pty ConPTY addons, copy @vscode's win32 ripgrep executable, and recognize pkg's .exe output. Extend runtime resolution, wheel staging, payload validation, and the preset closure check so the Windows-specific PowerShell plugins and sidecars fail loud when omitted.
The sidecar resolver now maps a packaged main.exe to main-rg.exe; focused TypeScript and Python tests cover that name, the win_amd64 manifest, x64-only host selection, complete wheel payload, ConPTY inventory, and platform-conditioned plugin closure.
