Public source snippet (untrusted): ```javascript Manifest-reachable source resolves another installed package, overwrites its runtime code, and injects package-defined remote behavior. dist/index.js: const segments = pkgPath.split("node_modules" + path2.sep === pkgPath ? path2.sep : "/"); const nmIndex = parts.lastIndexOf("node_modules"); const nmCount = parts.filter((p) => p === "node_modules").length; // src/parsers/node_modules.ts const root = path3.join(cwd, "node_modules"); `node_modules/ not found at ${cwd}. Install dependencies first (e.g. \`bun install\` or \`npm install\`).`, const nested = path3.join(pkgDir, "node_modules"); // top level symlinks into it, so a `node_modules` walk finds nothing there — and isolated is the default ``` ### 8.
