Research direction
Start with the failing eleventy-plugin-test.js VM test on GitHub Actions under Node 24, then read packages/labs/eleventy-plugin-lit/index.js around configureVm at lines 127 and 186. Compare the failure involving “module is already linked” with the current test setup and the workaround that disables VM tests. Done means the VM tests pass in GitHub Actions without disabling them.
