Description
gren run currently executes node-based applications using node, however it should be using the same process used to execute the compiler.
For nix/devenv/devbox, this means that you don't need nodejs added as a dependency for gren run to function.
This needs to be tested with a static build of the compiler as well.

Research direction
Start at the implementation of gren run and trace how it launches node-based applications, comparing that process with the one used to execute the compiler. Verify the change with a static build of the compiler, including the stated nix, devenv, and devbox scenario, and confirm that gren run no longer requires a separate nodejs dependency.
