## Title

    [Claude Agent SDK TypeScript] 'Native CLI binary for <platform>-<arch> not found' — optional platform package skipped, or bun build --compile ($bunfs)

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Documented SDK packaging behavior.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - Claude Code executable not found at <path>. Is options.pathToClaudeCodeExecutable set?
    - Claude Code native binary not found at <path>
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/troubleshooting (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): Troubleshooting maps 'Native CLI binary for <platform>-<arch> not found' to skipped optional dependencies and the other two messages to missing/inaccessible paths.
    - https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/typescript (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): TypeScript reference: SDK bundles native binary as optional dependency; bun build --compile can't resolve it inside $bunfs and throws the same message; extractFromBunfs() copies it out; one platform per executable.
    
    Search phrasings: Native CLI binary for linux-x64 not found claude-agent-sdk; claude agent sdk bun compile binary not found
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
