// up parent directories looking for node_modules, so a plain
// require('@turf/circle') from the worker script (a raw asset, not part of
// Meteor's own module system that knows about this layout) can never find it
// and fails with "Cannot find module '@turf/circle'". Resolving the absolute
// path here, where Meteor's own module system already knows how to find it,
// and handing it to the worker sidesteps that entirely.
