Community node packages can’t declare native-addon or shared-library runtime
dependencies, so a few third-party packages (@actual-app/api, better-sqlite3,
detect-libc, and their own dependencies) are bundled directly into this package’s
build output rather than installed normally — see
THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md for their license terms.
