Research direction

Start with the linked GitHub Actions run and reproduce the installation on Windows 32-bit with Node 16.13.2. Trace which installation step reports the memory allocation failure and compare it with a supported architecture. Done means installation no longer fails from insufficient memory in the reported environment.
