electron-to-chromium ships CommonJS only. require("electron-to-chromium") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun. import "electron-to-chromium" also works because Node.js and Bun can import CommonJS from ES modules, but only the default export is guaranteed; named imports depend on Node's static analysis of the module.

## What to do

1. require("electron-to-chromium") works on every Node.js version we test (18, 20, 22, 24 and 26) and in Bun.
2. From ES modules use the default import: import electronToChromium from "electron-to-chromium"; then destructure. Named imports only work when Node.js can statically detect the exports.
3. TypeScript: npm install -D @types/electron-to-chromium
