/**
 * Spawn a native binary (or a Node.js script when the path has a JS/TS
 * extension) and return its result with `stdout` and `stderr` as text.
 *
 * The child's streams are written to files rather than piped, and the files are
 * read once it exits. `spawnSync` buffers a _piped_ stream in this process's
 * memory and refuses to hold more than `maxBuffer` bytes, so a piped capture
 * has to name a ceiling — and any ceiling is a number nobody chose for this
 * machine, deciding that a large but legitimate compile said too much. A file
 * has no such limit: the bytes never pass through this heap on their way out of
 * the child, and how many there may be is the filesystem's business.
 *
 * When `options.encoding` is omitted it defaults to `"utf8"`. Pass `"buffer"`
 * when the caller needs raw bytes.
