@ruvector/edge-net fails to install on Apple Silicon (wrtc dependency missing darwin-arm64 prebuilt)

Problem

@ruvector/edge-net@0.5.3 fails to install on Apple Silicon Macs (M-series) because it depends on wrtc@^0.4.7, which has no prebuilt binary for darwin-arm64.

Environment

• Node.js: v22.13.1
• Architecture: darwin arm64 (Apple M3 Max)
• macOS: 26.3.1
• npm: 10.x
• Package: @ruvector/edge-net@0.5.3

Error

npm install -g @ruvector/edge-net@latest

node-pre-gyp http GET https://node-webrtc.s3.amazonaws.com/wrtc/v0.4.7/Release/darwin-arm64.tar.gz
node-pre-gyp ERR! install response status 404 Not Found on https://node-webrtc.s3.amazonaws.com/wrtc/v0.4.7/Release/darwin-arm64.tar.gz

The wrtc npm package (v0.4.7) never shipped Apple Silicon prebuilt binaries. The S3 bucket only has darwin-x64 builds. Since wrtc appears to be unmaintained, this is unlikely to be fixed upstream.

Reproduction

# On any Apple Silicon Mac with Node 22+
npm install -g @ruvector/edge-net@latest
# Fails with 404 on wrtc prebuilt download

Suggested Fix

One of:

1. Make wrtc an optional dependency — so edge-net installs even without WebRTC support on unsupported platforms
2. Switch to @roamhq/wrtc — a maintained fork with Apple Silicon prebuilt binaries
3. Remove wrtc dependency — if WebRTC is not core to edge-net's functionality, make it a peer dependency that users install separately

Impact

This prevents @ruvector/edge-net from being installed on any Apple Silicon Mac, which is the majority of modern Mac development machines. The package directory exists in node_modules but is non-functional (missing native binary).

Start by reproducing the provided npm install command for @ruvector/edge-net@0.5.3 on an Apple Silicon Mac and inspect how its wrtc dependency is declared. Compare the optional dependency, maintained fork, and peer dependency approaches; done means the package installs successfully on darwin-arm64 with the intended WebRTC behavior clearly preserved or documented.
