Incompatible with Julia 1.12: `jl_yield` symbol removed

[s-celles]

Description

(AI generated issue)

NodeCall.initialize() fails on Julia 1.12+ because the C symbol jl_yield no longer exists in the Julia runtime.

Error

julia> using NodeCall
julia> NodeCall.initialize()
ERROR: could not load symbol "jl_yield":
.../julia: undefined symbol: jl_yield

Stacktrace points to src/types/jlnode_helpers.jl:75 → _jlnode_util_functions.

Without explicit initialize(), any call to node_eval, require, etc. raises an UndefRefError on current_context because the Node.js runtime is never started.

Note: the __init__ function only auto-initializes in interactive mode, so the jl_yield error is silent when using NodeCall from a script — it surfaces only when initialize() is called explicitly or when any Node.js interop function is used.

Environment

• Julia: 1.12.5
• NodeCall.jl: v1.1.1
• OS: Linux x86_64

Context

jl_yield was removed/renamed in Julia 1.12 as part of internal runtime changes. The reference in libjlnode needs to be updated to the new API.

Workaround

None currently — NodeCall.jl cannot be used on Julia 1.12+. Users must fall back to spawning node as an external process.
