flappy-bird's end goal is a distributable binary; as a stepping stone it
builds a single dist/game.mjs that `node` runs on its own, with no
node_modules present. It's the example that demonstrates that ideal.
Bundle everything that CAN be bundled — vue, chalk, @vue-tui/runtime, yoga's
base64-inlined wasm, the SFC — and externalize ONLY Node builtins:
- The external predicate is `(id) => isBuiltin(id)`, inline in vite.config.ts
(no separate file for a one-liner). It has no relative/absolute path
heuristics, so the Windows path footgun behind vue-tui#209 can't exist here.
- rollupOptions.platform = "node" so rolldown emits a real
createRequire(import.meta.url) for a CJS dep's require() instead of a stub
that throws at startup (stack-utils does `require("module").builtinModules`
at module load — the #212 fault class).
Guard the property that actually matters in examples-smoke: build flappy-bird,
copy ONLY game.mjs into a fresh temp dir with no node_modules, and launch it
there — it must paint. Verified red->green: dropping platform:"node" brings
back the throwing require shim (build-shim check fails) and re-externalizing a
dep is ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND in the empty sandbox.
Closes#209. Supersedes #210 (which targeted the now-removed @vue-tui/cli).
