Nub 0.4.7

This release fixes running dependency binaries that are native executables rather than JavaScript — most visibly esbuild.

Native-executable bins

Some packages ship a bin that starts life as a JavaScript launcher and is replaced with a platform-native executable by the package's install script. esbuild does exactly this. nub linked the node_modules/.bin entry before the install script ran, so the shim invoked the resulting binary as node <binary>:

$ ./node_modules/.bin/esbuild --version
.../esbuild/bin/esbuild:1
ELF...
SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token

That broke nubx esbuild, ./node_modules/.bin/esbuild, and any script that shells out to esbuild.

nub now detects native executables (ELF, Mach-O, PE) and runs them directly — a symlink on Unix, a direct-exec wrapper on Windows — instead of wrapping them in node. Bin shims are regenerated after dependency install scripts run, so a launcher that turns native mid-install still gets the right shim, including when the build is restored from the side-effects cache.
