Overview
We currently download the relevant binary for the PowerSync rust core as an
installscript of@powersync/node. Some environments, such as PNPM require explicitly approving install scripts, which can result in cases where the extension is not automatically downloaded.This bundles the PowerSync extension for all architectures in the published NPM package - avoiding the need for install scripts.
The extension is also downloaded in local scripts to ease local development.
