"""Stdio MCP servers whose native addon was built for a different Node.js (#124264).
Hermes runs every stdio MCP server on its own managed Node, never the user's. A server whose
``.node`` addon was compiled under another Node (typically through the ``~/.npm/_npx`` cache the
user's ``npx`` shares with ours) dies at startup with ``NODE_MODULE_VERSION`` /
``ERR_DLOPEN_FAILED`` and only its stderr says so. This module turns that stderr into an error that
names the remedy: rebuild the server under Hermes's Node.
