Resolves the ESM conflicts in patch.ts, Instance.ts and host.ts. The module gathering in Instance now goes through patch.loadModules with the instance's loadedPlugins, and imports use explicit extensions. Review changes: the existing-output check only treats ENOENT as "does not exist" and rethrows anything else, a --zip option keeps the output as a zip file for transfer (extracting stays the default), the --scenario option describes that it takes a path and what the default is, and the docs note that IPC is not available outside Clusterio.

Save Patching
In order to efficiently get data in and out of running Factorio servers and to provide custom interfaces Clusterio uses save patching[1] to add code to the game. The save patching is based on the built in event_handler library to Factorio and requires scenarios to be coded specifically for it. Mods on the other hand work without modifications.
This can be disabled with the factorio.enable_save_patching config on a per instance basis, however disabling it means that modules are not loaded into the game and most plugins will not function.
To use the modules outside of Clusterio the npx clusteriohost create-scenario command creates a scenario with the modules patched into it.
Note that the IPC between the game and the host is not available outside of Clusterio, so modules that depend on it will not work as expected in such a scenario.
1: Before version 2.0 of Clusterio this was done at runtime with a patcher called Hotpatch, but due to the difficulty in supporting run time patching and the lack of documentation it was replace it with save patching instead.
User Accounts
The controller creates and stores accounts for all Factorio users that log into instances under its control. These accounts are used to store per player data and authorize management of the cluster. By default users accounts are assigned a Player role that gives a limited read access to the cluster resources, and admins of the cluster can be assigned a Cluster Admin role to get access to manage it.
