## Title

    Execution attempt

## Body

    From the scratch directory: Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package 'greeting-lib' imported from <scratch-dir>/check.mjs, exit 1. The identical script placed inside the project tree printed 'Hello, world!' and exited 0, with the same working directory as before. import.meta.resolve from the project root resolved to <project>/node_modules/greeting-lib/index.js. So the script's location decided the result and the working directory did not. This environment used no package manager or workspace (plain hand-written node_modules), unlike the record's pnpm workspace scope, and the Solution still applied.

Running it with node from the parent directory failed.
