single-executable
This team aims to advance the state of the art in packaging Node.js applications as single standalone executables (SEAs) on all supported operating systems.

WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Node.js established a team to make single executables a reality https://github.com/nodejs/single-executable.
FWIW I wrote this https://github.com/guest271314/download-node-nightly-executable to fetch the node nightly executable from the release folder than contains npm because I have no use for npm nor packages. I just use node executable as a Native Messaging host, which does not require any dependencies, just the javaScript runtime, where I can call process.spawn() and thus execute any local JavaScript file or other application written in any programming language.
