Made native module resolution lazy - bin.ts no longer eagerly imports native-patch.js, only initializes when dashboard command runs\n2. Updated native-patch.ts to create proper temp directory structure and attempt /$bunfs/root symlink with cleanup for stale links\n3. Added graceful degradation in terminal-service.ts - returns null (HTTP 503) instead of throwing when PTY module fails to load\n4. Added process.dlopen() fallback in terminal-service.ts for when symlink creation fails (macOS permissions)\n5. Updated signing scripts and workflows to sign native .node files alongside the main binary\n6. All build-exe tests pass (6/6), cross-platform tests pass (13/13), and build/verification passes\n7. Added patch changeset and updated STANDALONE.md documentation with runtime expectations and graceful degradation behavior" }
