Cannot resolve WASM SQLite fallback active (better-sqlite3 unavailable)

[Finndersen]

When doing codegraph init -i I always see the warning:

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
[CodeGraph] WASM SQLite fallback active (better-sqlite3 unavailable)
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Indexing and sync will be 5-10x slower than the native backend.

Fix on macOS:
  xcode-select --install        # install C build tools
  npm rebuild better-sqlite3    # rebuild native binding for current Node

Fix on Linux:
  sudo apt install build-essential python3 make    # Debian/Ubuntu
  # or: sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"  # RHEL/Fedora
  npm rebuild better-sqlite3

Or force-include as a hard dependency on any platform:
  npm install better-sqlite3 --save

Verify after fix: `codegraph status` should show `Backend: native`.

Running those suggested commands or even npm install better-sqlite3 does not fix the issue. I am on MacOS, Node 24

Fixed in #216. 🎉

Root cause: CodeGraph's better-sqlite3 was pinned to ^11.x, and the latest v11 ships no prebuilt binary for Node 24's ABI (node-v137) — so on Node 24 the native backend silently failed to load and fell back to WASM. Your npm rebuild / xcode-select couldn't fix it because (a) v11 has no Node 24 binary at all, and (b) CodeGraph is usually installed globally, so commands run in your own project never touched CodeGraph's copy.

CodeGraph now requires better-sqlite3@^12.4.1, whose prebuilds include Node 24. I verified on macOS with Node 24.15.0 that codegraph init -i shows no WASM banner and codegraph status reports Backend: native — with no compiler needed at all (the prebuilt binary is downloaded directly).

This will ship in the next npm release. Thanks for the clear report! 🙏

If you'd like the native backend right now without waiting for the release, point the fix at CodeGraph's own global install dir (no compiler required):

cd "$(npm root -g)/@colbymchenry/codegraph"
npm install better-sqlite3@^12.4.1
codegraph status   # → Backend: native
