// Postinstall for the claude wrapper package (name in ./package.json).
//
// Detects the platform, finds the matching native binary from optionalDependencies,
// and copies it over the bin/claude.exe placeholder. After this runs, `claude` execs
// the native binary directly — no Node.js process stays resident.
//
// If the native package isn't present (--omit=optional), prints instructions and
// leaves the placeholder stub in place. cli-wrapper.cjs (same directory) can be
// invoked manually as a fallback that keeps working via require.resolve + spawn.
//
// Platform detection + PLATFORMS map is duplicated in cli-wrapper.cjs — keep in sync.
