Research direction

Reproduce the failure with npm i in the reported Wikipedia Preview project and review the node_modules/canvas binding.gyp context shown in the log. Start with the pkg-config pixman-1 error and the node-gyp command output. Done means the native canvas dependency builds successfully and npm i completes.
