What
The build now compiles each built-in plugin's hook registration file and embeds the result in the shipped binary, rather than reading it from disk at run time. There is a build-time command that prints a bundled module, and failures are worded as shipping problems.
Details
A resolver handles a dedicated namespace for these modules, and each built-in's registration file is bundled with a source scan.
Build tooling only; no run-time surface for users.
Evidence
scripts/bundle-builtin-hooks-module.ts
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
