Description

Because it cannot handle symbolic links properly. Instead, switch to using the method from the C runtime to find the app base directory, since the C implementation can handle symbolic links. However, this requires the Node.js addon loader to also be able to run in scenarios where the app itself is a Node.js app. (#882)

Research direction

Inspect the Node.js addon loader and the C runtime method used to find the app base directory. Check how the loader behaves when symbolic links are involved and when the app itself is a Node.js app; done means both scenarios use the C runtime behavior without breaking addon loading.
