A small TypeScript service often arrives in production with much more than its application code.
It may need Node.js, a package-manager layout, production dependencies, startup scripts, environment conventions, and a container assembled to hold everything together.
That model is mature and flexible. It is also broader than every workload needs.
I have been exploring a narrower question:
What if a TypeScript service could arrive in production as one executable—and bring only the authority it had explicitly requested?
