Technical Bug Report: EdgeParse Node.js - Windows Binary Resolution Failure

Environment

• OS: Windows 10/11 (x64)
• Node.js: v24.13.1 (or similar)
• Library Version: edgeparse@0.2.3

Issue Summary

The edgeparse Node.js package fails to load on Windows platforms because it attempts to require an optional dependency edgeparse-win32-x64-msvc which is not available in the NPM registry (404 Not Found).

Error Logs

[EDGEPARSE] Error al procesar PDF: Error: Cannot find module 'edgeparse-win32-x64-msvc'
Require stack:
- C:\...\node_modules\edgeparse\dist\index.js
    at node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1448:15
    ...
  code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND',
  requireStack: [
    'C:\\...\\node_modules\\edgeparse\\dist\\index.js'
  ]

Technical Observations

1. In package.json, the library defines edgeparse-win32-x64-msvc as an optionalDependency.
2. Running npm install edgeparse-win32-x64-msvc returns a 404 Not Found from the NPM registry, indicating the package was never published or is private.
3. Although the .node binary exists physically inside the node_modules/edgeparse/npm/win32-x64-msvc/ folder after the main install, the internal logic in dist/index.js (line 36: return require(pkg);) expects it to be a resolvable module in node_modules.

Proposed Fix

The author should either:

• Publish the missing sub-packages to NPM.
• Or update loadNative() to fall back to the local npm/ directory bundled within the main package if the module requirement fails.
