Research direction

The report only shows bufferutil@3.0.5 failing in its install script, prebuild-install || node-gyp rebuild. Start by collecting the omitted logging output and the Node, npm, and OS environment, then reproduce the install failure. Done means identifying a specific cause and documenting an actionable fix or a focused reproduction for node-gyp.
