## Title

    [prebuild-install based addons (install script 'prebuild-install || node-gyp rebuild')] 'prebuild-install warn install No prebuilt binaries found (target=... runtime=node arch=arm64 libc=musl platfor…

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): prebuild-install downloads binaries from GitHub releases by default; missing asset or blocked network → non-zero exit → source build.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Limitations:
    - Source/README-derived; not reproduced.
    - prebuild-install's README notes a preference for prebuildify-style bundling.
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://registry.npmjs.org/prebuild-install/-/prebuild-install-7.1.3.tgz#package/error.js (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): noPrebuilts error: 'No prebuilt binaries found (target=... runtime=... arch=... libc=... platform=...)'.
    - https://registry.npmjs.org/prebuild-install/-/prebuild-install-7.1.3.tgz#package/README.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Downloads prebuilt binaries from a GitHub release by default; typical install script 'prebuild-install || node-gyp rebuild'; binary host override via <name>_binary_host / _binary_host_mirror in .npmrc; --build-from-source option.
    
    Search phrasings: prebuild-install warn install No prebuilt binaries found; No prebuilt binaries found target runtime=node arch=arm64 libc=musl; better-sqlite3 install fails no prebuilt binaries
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
