SQLite module not found during setup

[MrDrMcCoy]

Short description

Neither npx nor bun can find node:sqlite

What happened?

The installation command gave the following output on my Debian 13 host:

❯ npx @cortexkit/aft@latest setup
node:internal/modules/esm/translators:391
    throw new ERR_UNKNOWN_BUILTIN_MODULE(url);
          ^

Error [ERR_UNKNOWN_BUILTIN_MODULE]: No such built-in module: node:sqlite
    at ModuleLoader.builtinStrategy (node:internal/modules/esm/translators:391:11)
    at #translate (node:internal/modules/esm/loader:431:12)
    at ModuleLoader.loadAndTranslate (node:internal/modules/esm/loader:478:27) {
  code: 'ERR_UNKNOWN_BUILTIN_MODULE'
}

Node.js v20.19.2

Essentially the same error with bunx instead:

❯ bunx @cortexkit/aft@latest setup
node:internal/modules/esm/translators:391
    throw new ERR_UNKNOWN_BUILTIN_MODULE(url);
          ^

    at ModuleLoader.loadAndTranslate (node:internal/modules/esm/loader:478:27) {

}

Node.js v20.19.2

Thanks - reproduced on Node 20.19.2 with the published 0.55.1 bundle. The CLI ships as a single bundle and one module imported node:sqlite (Node >= 22.5) at load, so every command - including setup, which does not need SQLite at all - failed to link before it could say what it needed. Fixed on main: node:sqlite is loaded only where it is used, and the one doctor subcommand that needs it now names the Node 22.5 requirement instead. Ships in the next release; until then npx under Node 22.5+ works. The doctor --issue failure you hit is unrelated: the package is @cortexkit/aft (not aft-opencode), i.e. npx @cortexkit/aft@latest doctor --issue.

Thanks! Node 20 is the latest the ships with Debian 13, so definitely appreciate the fix.

As for bunx @cortexkit/aft-opencode@latest doctor --issue: this was pasted verbatim from the issue template, but I will make a note of this if I run into future problems.

This has gotten me unstuck, I'm grateful :)

Glad it unblocked you. The template was wrong, not you - it named a package with no executable; fixed to npx @cortexkit/aft@latest doctor --issue. Node 20 support ships in the next release.
