Research direction

Start by reproducing the vfox 0.5.4 Node.js installation and activation flow in WSL2 on Windows 11, using Node.js 20.16.0. Then trace the Node.js plugin's environment-path setup and compare it with the working Java plugin; done means the activated Node.js executable is discoverable in the WSL PATH.
