Description

We should be able to use Hyperlight's wit bindings system (see https://github.com/hyperlight-dev/hyperlight/blob/main/src/hyperlight_host/tests/wit_test.rs) to provide a host and guest side implementations. This would allow Javascript and Wasm to share the same host side bindings and similar guest apis.

Research direction

Start with src/hyperlight_host/tests/wit_test.rs, the WIT bindings example named in the issue. Compare how host and guest implementations are represented, then determine how the same host-side bindings and corresponding guest APIs can be shared by the JavaScript and Wasm backends. Done means both backends use the consolidated interface without separate equivalent bindings.
