   This library provides a service runner, not a bundler. The exe produced by this library is just a service runner, not a standalone app.

   If you want a standalone bundle (i.e. a single exe), use a bundler like pkg. Alternatively, Node.js 20.0.0 shipped with experimental single executable application (SEA) support. Beware that these processes merely merge your code with the node executable, so the file size is large, even for a simple "hello world" script (~60MB for pkg/~90MB for SEA). Electron has some optimization capabilities that can get executables down to ~45MB after unnecessary extras are stripped out.
