Research direction
Begin with the lifecycleScripts/preinstall and lifecycleScripts/install entry points and the node-pre-gyp/node-gyp fallback shown in the log. Reproduce npm i nodegit on Windows with the reported Node and npm versions, then verify the package installs without the MSBuild ENOENT failure.
