fix(build): externalize native clipboard modules

[assagman]

Problem

When loading the pi extension, users get:

Failed to load extension: Cannot require module @mariozechner/clipboard-darwin-arm64

Root Cause

bun build cannot inline native .node binaries. Without --external flag, it replaces require() with throw Error(), causing immediate crash on extension load.

Fix

Add --external '@mariozechner/clipboard-*' to the build command to preserve native module requires at runtime.

Dependency Chain

agentsbox
  └── @mariozechner/pi-coding-agent
        └── @mariozechner/clipboard
              └── @mariozechner/clipboard-darwin-arm64 (native .node)

Summary of Changes

Hello @assagman, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request implements a crucial fix for a build configuration problem that was preventing the pi extension from loading correctly. By adjusting the bun build command to properly externalize native clipboard modules, it ensures that the application can correctly resolve and utilize these dependencies at runtime, thereby restoring the functionality of the pi extension.

Highlights

• Build Fix: Resolved a critical issue where the pi extension failed to load due to bun build incorrectly handling native .node binaries.
• Module Externalization: Modified the bun build command to explicitly externalize @mariozechner/clipboard-* modules, ensuring their require() calls are preserved at runtime.

Code Review

This pull request correctly addresses a build failure caused by bun build attempting to inline native .node binaries from the @mariozechner/clipboard dependency. The fix, which adds the --external flag for these modules, is appropriate and resolves the issue. For future maintainability, a suggestion to refactor the build command into a separate script has been included, as it aligns with the repository's guidelines for complex build steps.
