Target: main

The deepak1556/node-abstractsocket fork carries an N-API rewrite of src/abstract_socket.cc plus cross-OS install support on top of upstream's unpublished v2.1.1. Neither is on npm (latest is 2.0.0) or in upstream git, so this vendors the diff as a yarn patch to drop the external git dependency.

  • .yarn/patches/abstract-socket-npm-2.0.0-b025d8ca5a.patch — npm 2.0.0 → fork diff (binding.gyp, lib, src, package.json)
  • packageExtensions in .yarnrc.yml adds node-addon-api since Yarn's patch: protocol ignores dependencies edits in patched manifests
  • The base os: ["linux"] is left intact; under Yarn Berry it skips linking on non-Linux rather than erroring, which is fine for a Linux-only dbus test dep

Notes: none
