The prebuilt node-pty binaries don't support Node.js 22's ABI version (127), causing `posix_spawnp failed` errors when spawning PTY sessions. This fix adds a `npm rebuild node-pty --build-from-source` step after npm install to ensure the native module is compiled for the user's specific Node.js version. Fixes PTY spawn failures on systems running Node.js 22+.
