The fix is to add simsimd to "trustedDependencies" in package.json, so that the lifecycle scripts are executed. We need to add a warning that we skipped the lifecycle script for the package to make this easier to understand

Is there something that can be done on their side?

and is napi the best way or could they use ffi?

I guess they way to do on their end is pre-build for all platforms?

Also, is there a way to bun i simsimd —trusted?
