+#!/usr/bin/env node
+// Preinstall hook — runs BEFORE npm extracts/overwrites the package's
+// files in node_modules. The job of this script is narrow and
+// Windows-specific: stop the running skalpeld daemon (and the
+// Scheduled Task that auto-restarts it) so npm can atomically rename
+// the new skalpeld.exe over the old one without tripping EBUSY /
+// EPERM / "The process cannot access the file because it is being
+// used by another process".
+//
+// On Linux and macOS this is a no-op: those kernels permit replacing
+// the file backing a running executable (the running process keeps
+// its old inode until it exits), and the existing service supervisor
+// (systemd / launchd) will pick up the new binary on the next restart.
+//
+// Failure mode contract: this script ALWAYS exits 0. Returning a
+// non-zero status from preinstall aborts the install with a confusing
+// "ELIFECYCLE" error; the right thing to do when we cannot find or
+// stop the daemon is to log and let the (real) install proceed,
+// because the EBUSY is downstream from us anyway. A fresh install
+// (no prior daemon running) is the common case and we must not break
+// it.
+//
+// History:
+//   - BUG-0037 (2026-05-22): added this script after npm upgrade of
+//     skalpel 3.1.4→3.1.6 on Windows failed with EBUSY because the
+//     v3.1.4 daemon (started by the scheduled task on the previous
+//     reboot) held skalpeld.exe open.
