nodejs

Node.js and npm as a module (novox/hq ADR 0477 §4, issue 1573).

  • Owns the packages nodejs and npm. No other module declares them (checks/toolchains refuses one that does).
  • Provides node-toolchain with the machine's reach: dev-tools, lab and mesh-build-node require it, and the requirement is met only by this module on the same machine. It is never pulled in for whatever asked, so nodejs is assigned to a node on purpose, and a node without it refuses a module that needs it at resolution.
  • Holds no long-running resource, so it adds nothing to health-undeclared.

The node-engine never uninstalls a package, so moving the declaration here removes nothing from a node.
