node-addon-native-custom-loader

Shared CommonJS loader used by the node-addon-require-builtin and node-addon-internal-loader package families, and by their platform optional packages.

This package is published separately so entry and platform packages across both families can validate and load their own prebuilt binaries without duplicating loader logic. It also exposes createEntryApi(packageDir), which each family's entry package uses to build its public API from its own package name.

Native .node files are copied to a runtime cache before loading. This keeps package-managed files replaceable while a process is running, especially on Windows where loaded DLLs are locked.
