+/**
+ * Generates the `optional-peer-hoist-*` fixtures used by bun-lock.test.ts.
+ *
+ * Hoisting is breadth-first, so where a package lands can depend on whether an
+ * optional peer is already bound to its target when the tree is built: bound,
+ * the target's subtree is queued right after the dependent; unbound, only once
+ * a regular dependency edge reaches the target. These packages make that
+ * difference visible in bun.lock.
+ *
+ * Shape 1 (consumer + deep@1.0.0, optionally provider):
+ *
+ * - optional-peer-hoist-consumer@1.0.0    optional peer on optional-peer-hoist-target (any version)
+ * - optional-peer-hoist-deep@1.0.0        -> deep-child@1.0.0
+ * - optional-peer-hoist-deep-child@1.0.0  -> leaf@1.0.0, target@1.0.0
+ * - optional-peer-hoist-target@1.0.0      -> leaf@2.0.0
+ * - optional-peer-hoist-target@2.0.0      no dependencies
+ * - optional-peer-hoist-leaf@1.0.0/2.0.0  no dependencies
+ * - optional-peer-hoist-provider@1.0.0    -> target@2.0.0
+ *
+ * `consumer` sorts before `deep`, so with the peer bound, target@1.0.0 is placed
+ * from consumer and its leaf@2.0.0 reaches the root before deep-child's
+ * leaf@1.0.0; unbound, target is only placed once deep-child is reached and
+ * leaf@1.0.0 wins the root.
+ *
+ * Shape 2 (consumer + consumer2 + deep@2.0.0) takes more than one extra hoist
+ * pass to settle:
+ *
+ * - optional-peer-hoist-consumer2@1.0.0   optional peer on optional-peer-hoist-target2 (any version)
+ * - optional-peer-hoist-deep@2.0.0        -> deep-child@2.0.0
+ * - optional-peer-hoist-deep-child@2.0.0  -> leaf@1.0.0, target@3.0.0, tail@1.0.0
+ * - optional-peer-hoist-target@3.0.0      -> leaf@3.0.0, and bundles target2@0.0.1
+ * - optional-peer-hoist-leaf@3.0.0        -> target2@1.0.0
+ * - optional-peer-hoist-target2@0.0.1     no dependencies (the bundled copy)
+ * - optional-peer-hoist-target2@1.0.0     -> tail@2.0.0
+ * - optional-peer-hoist-tail@1.0.0/2.0.0  no dependencies
+ *
+ * While consumer's peer is unbound, leaf@3.0.0 nests under target (deep-child's
+ * leaf@1.0.0 holds the root), so its target2@1.0.0 runs into the bundled
+ * target2@0.0.1 in target's node_modules and nests there too, out of reach of
+ * consumer2's peer. Once consumer's peer is bound, leaf@3.0.0 is hoisted to the
+ * root and target2@1.0.0 does reach consumer2's peer, but only after deep-child
+ * has put tail@1.0.0 at the root. Once consumer2's peer is bound as well,
+ * target2's subtree is queued from consumer2 and tail@2.0.0 takes the root.
