Start by reproducing `npm i canvas` on Windows with Node.js v14.15.0 and node-pre-gyp, then inspect the reported `needle\lib\needle.js` stack and EPERM read failure. Compare the same install behavior for the other native packages mentioned. Done means the Windows installation failure is explained and a validated resolution is documented or implemented.
