What it actually did when run

could not load

The sandbox could not load this package, usually a dependency it does not publish or a source format Node will not run directly. Nothing was observed, which is not the same as nothing happening — judge it on the source scan above.

Run against version 1.2.8 on 2026-08-02. Registration-time behaviour under default settings; other configurations may differ.

Review before you install. pi packages run with your full system permissions. Check the source, pin versions, and prefer authors you trust.
