+// ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE, so it needs the *Electron* ABI (146 for electron 42,
+// 148 for electron 43). We cannot rely on electron-builder's @electron/rebuild
+// here: it searches `electron/node_modules` (where better-sqlite3 does not live)
+// and, with the default prebuild path, tries to fetch a prebuilt binary — but
+// better-sqlite3@12.11.1 only ships prebuilds up to electron-v146, so electron
+// 43 (v148) silently gets no rebuild and the app dies with "Nenhum driver
+// SQLite disponível — better-sqlite3 (falhou)".
+//
+// Instead we copy the *full* module (source + binding.gyp) from the root into
+// the standalone and compile it from source against the Electron headers, so
+// `bindings` finds a correct build/Release/better_sqlite3.node regardless of
+// prebuild availability. Robust to any current/future electron version.
