Malte UblandClaude Opus 5.5 9a0a3f1562 Load Node.js in-process on first use: libnode bridge and runtime loader
Scope-B milestone NI-1, runtime side. Programs whose IR has a
`nodeIsland.*` operation link scr_node_island.c and the SCR_NODE_ISLANDS
build of scr_async.c; every other program links neither, byte for byte.

- scr_node_island.c dlopens the bridge of a libnode pack on the first call
  (RTLD_NOW | RTLD_GLOBAL), checks its bridge ABI and that it links exactly
  the Node version recorded at build time, starts one Node environment and
  runs the embedded bootstrap (scr_node_island_host.cjs). A run that never
  calls into Node never maps libnode. The pack directory is SCRIPTC_LIBNODE
  at run time, else the recorded path; a `$ORIGIN/` path resolves against
  the executable's directory (the beside packaging, and the hook for
  shipping Node with the program).
- scr_node_bridge.h is the C ABI between the runtime and the bridge; the
  runtime includes no Node or V8 header. The bridge
  (packages/libnode-common/bridge/scr_node_bridge.cc) initializes Node once
  with no default signal handling, no debug-signal handler or inspector,
  no stdio reinitialization and one platform worker, creates the
  environment from the built-in snapshot, routes Node's process exit to
  the runtime's exit sequence, promotes libnode to the global scope for
  native addons, and runs calls in a CallbackScope with a TryCatch.
  build-pack.mjs assembles a pack (libnode, the bridge, manifest.json) from
  a Node --shared build and the matching headers.
- The SCR_NODE_ISLANDS build of scr_async.c adds a loop slot through which
  the runtime's loop drives Node's until NI-3 hosts the runtime's queues on
  Node's libuv: it keeps the program alive while Node has ref'd work,
  sleeps on Node's backend fd up to its next timer, and runs one
  non-blocking turn per loop turn.
- The `nodeIsland` runtime feature (rule, link features, unit table, pack
  matrix row and scr_async.c variant), the nodeIsland.call/callSync
  libCalls, the install call in main, and the build-time record of the
  pack (node-islands/libnode.ts: --libnode=<pack>|beside or
  SCRIPTC_LIBNODE, SC8005 when none is usable, Node >=24.13.1).
- The zero-cost gate and the bench nm test require that no good-code
  executable defines a Node island symbol.
