Note: This proposal is still in the works, is subject to change and is AI assisted.
This proposal describes two complementary features:
- A safe AST rewrite that replaces selected 
require("...")calls with vendor-specific loader calls (--replace). - A vendor include mode to inline specific vendor roots while honoring excludes and prior rewrites (
--vendor). 
Source code remains standard LuaRocks-style requires for full IDE support; the bundle adapts to engine/runtime realities.
