Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with a clean Particle CLI reinstall and the particle setup command. Use the reported safer-buffer error and update timing log as the baseline; done means setup completes without the missing-module error and the update delay is accounted for.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I just did a complete reinstall of the cli and when I run the setup command, I get the following error:

> particle setup
Cannot find module 'safer-buffer'

It is also quite slow.
