   FYI: I will copy the implementation that I've used for my node-sodium demo.

   Implemented in packages/host/cpp/RuntimeNodeApi.cpp: napi_create_buffer allocates an ArrayBuffer and returns a Uint8Array view over it.

   Hermes' first-party Node-API now implements the buffer API the same way (Buffer as Uint8Array, API/napi/hermes_napi_buffer.cpp, adopted in #372); the host's definition currently shadows it in the generated injector, so dropping the shim in favour of Hermes' is a follow-up cleanup rather than a behaviour change.

   Covered by packages/node-addon-examples/tests/buffers (a port of Node's test_buffer). The remaining fidelity gap versus a real Buffer stays tracked in #171.
