  * Resolve the bundled `ffmpeg-static` binary path.

- * Naively, `require('ffmpeg-static')` returns the path of its sibling `ffmpeg`
- * binary. But ffmpeg-static's index.js uses `path.join(__dirname, ...)` to
- * compute that path — and when we ncc-bundle this CLI into a single
- * `dist/index.js`, `__dirname` inside the inlined ffmpeg-static module
- * collapses to the *bundle*'s directory (`<install>/voxflow/dist/`), not its
- * real `<install>/voxflow/node_modules/ffmpeg-static/` location. The returned
- * string then points at a file that doesn't exist.
+ * ffmpeg-static is marked external in our ncc build (see package.json
+ * `build` script: `-e ffmpeg-static`), so at runtime `require('ffmpeg-static')`
+ * goes through Node's actual module resolution algorithm rather than the
+ * bundled-module map. That matters because ffmpeg-static's index.js computes
+ * its binary path with `path.join(__dirname, ...)` — and only when the module
+ * is loaded by the real Node loader does `__dirname` resolve to the actual
+ * package directory (e.g. `<install>/voxflow/node_modules/ffmpeg-static/`).
  *
- * Recovery: `require.resolve('ffmpeg-static/package.json')` honors Node's
- * runtime module resolution (not the `__dirname` baked in at bundle time), so
- * it finds the real package directory. The binary lives next to that
- * package.json. This works in both source-mode (npm test) and ncc-bundled
- * mode (the published CLI).
+ * If we let ncc inline ffmpeg-static, `__dirname` collapses to the bundle's
+ * own directory and the returned path points at a file that does not exist.
+ * Worse, `require.resolve(...)` inside an ncc bundle is rewritten to return
+ * a numeric module ID, so it cannot be used to recover the real package
+ * directory. The only robust fix is keeping ffmpeg-static external.
  *
- * Returns: a path string (may or may not exist; caller should fs.existsSync).
- *          Or null when ffmpeg-static is not installed at all.
+ * Returns: a binary path that exists, or null when ffmpeg-static is not
+ *          installed at all.
