Why is it necessary to use external versions? Could Debian’s patch be integrated into Uncici’s version somehow? We include a wasm binary for the https://github.com/nodejs/cjs-module-lexer dependency that’s also bundled in...

Next time please tag @nodejs/loaders. The transpilation use case is already covered by that API, and it’s not clear to me how a separate entrypoint phase would be a better...
