build: ship the third-party licence texts in the installers - #1020
Conversation
npm code ships bundled by Vite and the crates are linked into compositor_view.node, but no installer carried their licence texts. scripts/generate-third-party-licenses.mjs now writes build-licenses/THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt before every package: the production entries of package-lock.json and the normal-dependency closure of compositor-view-napi from cargo metadata, each distinct text once. A missing licence file or cargo only warns. electron-builder ships the file beside THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md, and before-pack.cjs refuses to package when it is absent.

Review comments at @scripts/generate-third-party-licenses.mjs:
- Around line 105-107: Update `declaredLicense` and the `readLicenseTexts` call
in the package-entry mapping to handle Cargo’s `license_file` field: resolve its
manifest-relative path, include the file’s text, and report the declared path
when no `license` value is present. Preserve the existing behavior for crates
using `license` and top-level `LICENSE` or `NOTICE` files.
- Around line 194-199: Update the catch around cargoMetadata() and
collectCrates() so crate collection failure fails the packaging path instead of
warning and continuing; ensure an incomplete license file cannot be accepted for
packaging.

…st the crates A crate that declares only license-file was labelled without a licence and its text could be missed. And a failing cargo used to write a file without the crates, which before-pack accepted: every installer ships the addon, so the generator now fails instead.

Follow-up to #1018. MIT, BSD, ISC, Zlib and Apache-2.0 ask for the licence text itself to ship with the code, not just its name, and two kinds of third-party code had none in the installers:
