fix: stop misdiagnosing glibc-too-old native loads (#2672) and name the Windows FTS zero-install fix (#2669) (#2689)
* docs(plans): add glibc-windows-fts-diagnostics plan

Implementation plan for #2672 (glibc-too-old native-load misdiagnosis)
and #2669 (Windows FTS prerequisites + Git Bash zero-install workaround).

* fix(cli): stop prescribing a reinstall when the host glibc is too old (#2672)

The LadybugDB prebuilt binary requires GLIBC_2.34 (dlopen/pthread_* at 2.34,
fstat64/lstat at 2.33). On an older host the loader reports

  version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by .../lbugjs.node)

and checkLbugNative answered with "truncated file, ABI mismatch, or
wrong-platform binary" plus instructions to re-run install.js. That advice is
actively wrong for this class: every download ships the same prebuilt binary,
so the reinstall fails identically and the user loops.

Add glibcTooOldMessage: match a GLIBC_<version> token on a "not found" line,
report the highest required version (compared numerically, so 2.9 < 2.34)
alongside this host's glibc from process.report, state that reinstalling will
NOT help, and point at the real options. The branch sits on the arm where the
probe actually ran and failed, so an unrunnable probe still fails open (#2441).

The glibc read is local rather than analyzer-identity's detectLibcVariant:
native-check is the dependency-light startup gate and must not statically pull
in a module the CLI reaches through a dynamic import.

* fix(lbug): name the Git Bash zero-install fix for Windows FTS load failures (#2669)

The Windows error-126 remedy already refuses to prescribe a reinstall and names
the VC++ redistributable and the OpenSSL 3 DLLs, but not where those DLLs
already exist on the machine. #2669's reporter had the redistributable
installed and still failed: the same command failed in PowerShell and succeeded
in Git Bash, because Git for Windows puts libssl-3-x64.dll and
libcrypto-3-x64.dll on PATH via C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin.

Add that hint to the Windows-126 and structural missing-dependency remedies
through one shared const, following the VC_REDIST_INSTALL_HINT anti-drift
pattern (#2383 F5). Placing it in the builders rather than at a call site is
load-bearing: markUnavailable caches the whole diagnosis (#2383 F3) and
ftsDegradedWarning replays that cached remedy, so a call-site fix would miss
the MCP query and /api/search surfaces.

The hint is a fixed system path, never a user-profile one — remedy text is not
path-redacted, and fts-degraded-warning.test.ts asserts no C:\Users\ path ever
reaches a user. Both touched tests now assert that property directly.

* docs(readme): document the Linux glibc floor and Windows FTS prerequisites (#2672, #2669)

Requirements listed only Node and git, so neither runtime prerequisite that
these two issues turn on was discoverable before hitting the failure.

- Linux: the LadybugDB prebuilt binary needs glibc 2.34+; name the distro
  versions that clear it and state plainly that reinstalling does not help.
- Windows: full-text search needs the VC++ 2015-2022 x64 redistributable AND
  OpenSSL 3 on PATH. The redistributable alone is not sufficient (#2669's
  reporter had it), and Git for Windows already ships the OpenSSL DLLs, so
  running from Git Bash or prepending mingw64\bin is a zero-install fix.
  Without them analyze still succeeds but the index carries no search tables.

* chore: drop the plan document from version control

docs/* is gitignored; the plan was force-added so it would travel with the
work. It is working material, not a repository artifact — the code, tests and
README carry the reasoning that matters.

* fix(cli): stop doctor reporting a present-but-unloadable binary as missing (#2672)

doctor printed "✗ lbugjs.node missing" for every failed native check — including
the case this PR is about, where the binary is right there and merely fails to
load because the host glibc is too old. It then wrote the real detail to stderr
directly beneath, so the two lines contradicted each other and the headline sent
users to reinstall a file they already had. It said the same for a truncated
download and for an entirely absent @ladybugdb/core package.

checkLbugNative already knows which of the three it found, so record it: a
`kind` discriminator ('package_missing' | 'binary_missing' | 'load_failed') set
at each failure return. doctor renders it through a new exported
`nativeStatusLine`, following the existing pageSizeDoctorLines/poolSizeDoctorLine
pure-helper pattern — which also makes the line testable, where before it had no
coverage at all. An unrecognized or absent kind keeps the conservative "missing".

Deriving this in doctor with a second existsSync would have re-stat'd a file the
check had already inspected, and could disagree with what it actually observed.

fix(cli): LadybugDB native-load failures fail closed, incl. truncated-binary SIGBUS (#2441) (#2651)
* test(cli): cover analyzer lazy-action native-load failure (#2441)

createAnalyzerLbugLazyAction — the wrapper the `analyze` command uses — had
only a happy-path test; its native-load-failure branch was untested, so a
regression could silently reintroduce #2441 (analyze exiting 0 after a
LadybugDB native load failure, writing no index while reporting success).

Add a failure-path test asserting that when checkLbugNative() reports the
binary cannot load, the analyzer module is NOT imported, process.exitCode is
set to 1, and the repair message is written to stderr. Mirrors the existing
createLbugLazyAction failure test.

Verified discriminating: the test fails ("expected undefined to be 1") when
the exitCode guard is removed from the analyzer branch, and passes with it
restored.

* fix(cli): probe LadybugDB native load out-of-process so a truncated binary fails closed (#2441)

checkLbugNative() loaded lbugjs.node in-process to validate it. That catches
clean load failures (missing dylib, zero-byte, garbage -> "file too short"),
but a merely truncated/corrupted binary (valid header, missing pages) SIGBUSes
the dynamic loader mid-dlopen — a signal, not a catchable throw — taking the
whole CLI down with a raw exit 135 and no guidance.

Load the binary in a throwaway child process instead. Only a child that RAN and
failed (non-zero exit or a fatal signal) marks the binary bad; if the probe
itself could not run — a spawn error or timeout, e.g. a no-subprocess sandbox
or a non-Node execPath — the result is inconclusive and the command's own load
stays authoritative rather than condemning a healthy binary. The probe forces
ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE, removes the redundant in-process pre-load, and costs ~20ms.

Regression tests: truncated binary -> ok:false; unspawnable probe -> ok:true.

Verified: a 300KB-truncated native now exits 1 with the repair message
(previously exit 135 SIGBUS); zero-byte/garbage stay graceful; good native
still loads and indexes.

fix: actionable error + docs for pnpm dlx / pnpx native-load crash (#307) (#1967)
* fix: guide pnpm dlx/pnpx users through skipped native install

`pnpm dlx gitnexus serve` (and `pnpx gitnexus`) crash with a raw
`ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED` stack trace because @ladybugdb/core's native addon
(lbugjs.node) is placed by a postinstall script, and dlx/pnpx run
ephemerally without executing lifecycle scripts.

The existing checkLbugNative() guard already catches the missing binary
for serve/mcp/analyze, but its guidance only mentioned bun and
--ignore-scripts. Extend the message to call out the common pnpm dlx /
pnpx case and the fix (`pnpm add -g gitnexus && pnpm approve-builds -g`,
or use npx/npm). Add a matching README troubleshooting section.

This does not make `pnpm dlx` itself work — that requires a runtime
fallback in @ladybugdb/core. It turns the crash into actionable guidance.

* fix: add pnpm --allow-build dlx option to native-check guidance

Incorporates collaborator feedback (magyargergo): pnpm's security model
allows `dlx` to run build scripts when you pass `--allow-build` for each
native dep. Add this as the first/preferred pnpm-dlx path in the error
message, README troubleshooting section, and test assertion. Drop the
now-incorrect claim that `pnpm dlx` "cannot be made to work directly".

* fix: address PR review on pnpm dlx native-load guidance

Replace removed pnpm approve-builds -g with add -g --allow-build flags,
qualify npm 11 npx caveats, use serve in examples, extend load-failure hints,
and assert --allow-build precedes dlx in tests.

fix(cli): detect missing LadybugDB native binary at startup with actionable guidance (#835) (#1837)
* fix(cli): detect missing LadybugDB native binary at startup with actionable guidance (#835)

Add checkLbugNative() pre-flight that verifies lbugjs.node exists before
any command transitively imports @ladybugdb/core. When missing (bun default
install, --ignore-scripts), prints repair instructions instead of crashing
with ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED. Also enhances `gitnexus doctor` to probe the
native binary status.

* fix(review): guard eval-server, un-guard status command

eval-server transitively loads @ladybugdb/core and needs the native
binary check. status only reads filesystem metadata and should remain
accessible when the binary is missing.

* fix(lint): use console.log instead of console.error in native check gate

The project eslint config only allows console.log.

* fix(cli): route native-check to stderr and validate binary loadability

Fixes two Codex adversarial review findings:

1. Native-check failure message now goes to process.stderr.write instead
   of console.log, preventing MCP stdout protocol contamination.

2. checkLbugNative now attempts a controlled require() probe after the
   existence check. Truncated, ABI-mismatched, or wrong-platform binaries
   produce actionable guidance instead of passing through to crash at
   process.dlopen.
