Crate SideCar 

SideCar: Pre-Built Node.js Binary Manager

Cocoon needs Node.js to run VS Code extensions. SideCar manages the embedded Node.js binary: downloading platform-specific builds, verifying integrity, and spawning Node.js as a Tauri sidecar process.

No system Node.js installation required. Land ships its own.

What SideCar Does

1. Downloads the correct Node.js binary for the current OS and arch
2. Verifies the download checksum before extracting
3. Spawns Node.js as a managed sidecar that Mountain can monitor

Modules

• Download: Platform-aware binary fetching and checksum verification
• Spawn: Tauri sidecar process launch and lifecycle management
