@unrs/resolver-binding-win32-ia32-msvc

This is a platform-specific native binding package for UnRS Resolver, specifically for Windows 32-bit IA-32 architecture with MSVC. In practice, you'll never directly interact with this package - it's automatically installed as an optional dependency when you install the main @unrs/resolver package on compatible systems.

The package itself has virtually no documentation because it's just a compiled binary. This is expected for native bindings, but it means troubleshooting installation or linking issues can be challenging. The error messages when the binding fails to load are generic Node.js native module errors rather than anything specific to UnRS. TypeScript types and API surface come from the parent package, so DX considerations really apply there, not here.

The main practical concern is that this targets a fairly niche platform (32-bit Windows). Most modern development happens on 64-bit systems, so unless you specifically need ia32 support, you'll be using the x64 variant instead. Installation is generally smooth when the platform matches, but you're completely dependent on prebuild binaries being available.

This is a platform-specific native binary for the UnRS resolver, which provides module resolution with Plug'n'Play support. In practice, you'll rarely interact with this package directly—it's automatically installed as an optional dependency when you install the main @unrs/resolver package on Windows 32-bit systems with MSVC toolchain.

The actual developer experience is tied entirely to the parent package. The binding itself is transparent when it works, which is good. However, troubleshooting is challenging because there's virtually no documentation specific to this binding. Error messages when the native module fails to load are cryptic and don't provide clear resolution steps. TypeScript types come from the main package, so that aspect works fine.

The main friction point is when the automatic platform detection fails or you're working in environments with unusual configurations. You're left hunting through the parent package's docs or issues to understand what's happening at the native layer.

This is a native binding package for the UnRS Resolver, specifically compiled for Windows 32-bit (ia32) with MSVC. In practice, you won't interact with this directly - it gets pulled in automatically as an optional dependency when you install the main @unrs/resolver package on a compatible system. The package itself contains pre-compiled native modules that enable PNP (Plug'n'Play) resolution support.

The onboarding experience is essentially transparent when it works correctly. Your package manager downloads the appropriate binding for your platform, and everything just runs. However, when issues arise - such as platform mismatches or missing native dependencies - the error messages can be cryptic. There's minimal documentation specific to this binding package, which makes troubleshooting difficult. You're essentially debugging at the native module level, which requires understanding the parent package's architecture.

For day-to-day usage, assuming you're on the right platform, it's invisible and performs well. The main pain point is when you encounter installation or runtime errors related to native bindings, as the debugging resources are limited.
