+## 2026-03-05 - 4.1.26 - fix(compiler)
+fsync output directories after unpack to avoid XFS delayed logging causing corrupt or invisible directory entries during subsequent TypeScript emits
+
+- Force fsync on each successful output directory (open, fsync, close) before the next compilation step.
+- Prevents XFS delayed logging from making directory entries invisible or corrupted during TypeScript emit operations.
+- Operation swallows errors if a directory doesn't exist yet; non-breaking fix with small additional IO.
+
 ## 2026-03-05 - 4.1.25 - fix(mod_unpack)
 flush directory metadata on XFS before reading and use readdirSync-based iteration to avoid missing entries when unpacking
