# EXPERIMENT: run the blocking Windows CI gates on a Linux runner through # Wine with a real Windows Node.js binary, at roughly the wall clock of the # Linux CI jobs (~2 min). Speed comes from four levers: the master-refreshed # pnpm store cache, provisioning Wine concurrently with the dependency # install, running the two blocking surfaces concurrently (the same shape # run-gates gives them on native Windows), and an apt package cache for Wine # itself. Dependency provisioning happens natively on Linux with # `supportedArchitectures` extended to win32-x64 so the Windows # esbuild/rolldown/rollup binaries are present, and `nodeLinker: hoisted` # because Windows Node under Wine does not realpath pnpm's isolated-layout # Unix symlinks — the sibling prototype in PR #689 kept the isolated layout # and failed on exactly that. The pnpm-run/cmd shim layer is deliberately # bypassed; each gate invokes its tool's JavaScript entrypoint directly — the # same commands run-gates ultimately spawns.
