The compiled library declares a `__attribute__((constructor))` that, on load, unlinks every `*.so` file under `/tmp` and writes the current uid/gid to `/tmp/monitoring.log`. The tarball also ships a `test.js` that loads the library via `LD_PRELOAD=/tmp/monitoring.so` and a co-shipped native test-loader that `dlopen`s the same path, demonstrating the intended trigger. The package.json author field is empty and no shipped file implements the advertised UI purpose.
