@dointhai/owlwarden-core-native

The prebuilt Rust engine behind owlwarden, exposed to Node through napi-rs.

You almost certainly want owlwarden instead. This package is the engine, not the tool: it takes and returns JSON strings and has no command-line interface.

npm i -D owlwarden        # what you probably want

How the binary gets to you

This package contains no binary itself. It is a small loader that requires the right one at runtime from a per-platform package listed in optionalDependencies:

| | | |---|---| | macOS | x64, arm64 | | Linux | x64 and arm64 glibc, x64 musl | | Windows | x64, arm64 |

Your package manager installs only the one that matches. Nothing is compiled and nothing is downloaded at install time — a postinstall that fetches a binary is a supply-chain hole, and a security tool cannot ship one.

Binaries are built and published from CI with npm provenance, so the artifact can be traced to the commit and workflow that produced it.

If you installed with --no-optional, the loader cannot find its binary. That is the usual cause of a load failure; reinstall without it.
