The real fix for the boot error
1.31.5 turned off ASAR, which was necessary but not sufficient. The root cause was actually one level deeper: the writable userData runtime directory where the forked server lives had no node_modules at all. Node's ESM loader then threw Cannot find package 'ws' because it had nowhere to resolve from. NODE_PATH is legacy and Node's ESM loader quietly ignores it on Windows in Electron-bundled installs.
Fix in 1.31.6 is surgical: the installer now creates a junction (Windows) / symlink (Unix) from runtime/node_modules to the bundled dependency tree. Zero disk cost, instant, works on every filesystem we've tested. If the OS rejects the link (corporate policy, weird mount), the installer falls back to a full copy so the app always boots.
Idempotent on subsequent launches: we detect a healthy link via node_modules/ws/package.json and skip the re-setup.

Upgrading from 1.31.5
Uninstall 1.31.5 first (it will not auto-update itself because that codepath needs the server to be running). Your sessions, tokens, and paired accounts under ~/.pixcode/ stay intact. Install 1.31.6. This should be the last 'please uninstall and reinstall' step — from here on, product updates flow through the in-app update path without any installer redownload.
