+# This is a workaround for a node-gyp bug that has not fully been investigated
+# due to problems reproducing it outside of CI environments (even though it
+# occurs both in evergreen and github actions).
+# Something seems to go wrong when node-gyp extracts the Node.js header tarball,
+# on Windows specifically (this is most likely because node-tar treats
+# the overwriting of existing files differently on Windows than on other OS --
+# for good reasons, but still).
+# The most likely cause of this issue is that node-gyp somehow extracts the
+# same headers tarball twice, in parallel, in the same location, with race
+# conditions in the tar extraction code leading to issues.
+# The extraction result ends up in %LOCALAPPDATA%\node-gyp\Cache.
+# Manually extracting the tarballs will solve this issue, so we're doing that
+# here.
+# For actually resolving the bug, we would probably need somebody with a local
+# reproduction. However, it seems likely that other people will also encounter
+# this issue, so there's also a good chance that this workaround will just
+# not be needed with a future node-gyp version.
