Pull request overview
This PR disables mimalloc as the global allocator on Windows for NAPI packages to fix worker_threads crashes caused by mimalloc's known DLL unloading issues on Windows. The fix addresses a critical bug where the main thread loads the DLL but a worker thread unloads it, triggering STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION crashes due to improper cleanup.
Changes:
- Add
target_os = "windows"to the exclusion list in conditional compilation for mimalloc in three NAPI packages - Update Cargo.toml dependency configurations to explicitly target only macOS instead of all non-Linux platforms

…18923) ## Summary - Disable mimalloc as the global allocator on Windows for all NAPI packages (`oxc-parser`, `oxc-minify`, `oxc-transform`) - On Windows, packages now use the system allocator instead Fixes #15518 ## Root Cause mimalloc has known issues with DLL unloading on Windows when the DLL is loaded by the main thread but unloaded by a worker thread ([mimalloc issue #288](microsoft/mimalloc#288)). The cleanup code has `_mi_is_main_thread()` checks that prevent proper memory cleanup when called from a non-main thread, causing `STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION` crashes. ## Platforms with mimalloc enabled | Platform | mimalloc | |----------|----------| | macOS | ✅ | | Linux x86_64 | ✅ | | Linux aarch64 | ✅ | | Windows | ❌ (disabled) | | FreeBSD | ❌ | | ARM 32-bit | ❌ | | WASM | ❌ | 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code)
