+/**
+ * Registers a Node ESM loader hook that resolves `cloudflare:*` specifiers
+ * to a data: URL stub. Defense-in-depth alongside the Vite transform in
+ * `cloudflare-protocol-stub.ts`:
+ *
+ * - The Vite transform catches `cloudflare:*` imports in modules that flow
+ *   through Vite's plugin pipeline. That's the vast majority of cases.
+ * - The Node loader catches imports in modules that Vite/Rollup externalize
+ *   (e.g. the `partyserver` package, which has a top-level
+ *   `import { DurableObject, env } from "cloudflare:workers"` and ships
+ *   shapes plugin-rsc marks as external). Externalized modules are loaded
+ *   via Node's native ESM loader, which rejects URL schemes.
+ *
+ * Registration is process-global and one-shot. The hook only intercepts
+ * `cloudflare:*` specifiers; everything else passes through via
+ * `nextResolve()`. It runs in a separate worker thread (Node ESM loader
+ * architecture), so it can't read the `globalThis[BUILD_ENV_GLOBAL_KEY]`
+ * bridge that the Vite transform uses — the stubs served here always
+ * return `env = {}`. That's fine because externalized libraries don't
+ * typically access `env` at module top level; user source (where real
+ * `env` matters at build time) flows through the Vite transform.
