+ * building the path inline, so `verify-mcp-package.mjs`'s `spawnTargets` check
+ * (which imports this const) can assert every non-`devOnly` entry is actually
+ * in the packed tarball file list, naming whichever one is missing.
+ *
+ * `devOnly: true` entries are scripts this package deliberately does NOT ship
