Research direction

The issue mentions Docker, a Homebrew installation, the node executable, tsserver, and qwen-code, but names no repository files or tests. Start by inspecting the executable and packaging entry points, then clarify the supported developer installation and linking behavior. Done should include a documented developer install path and a working node-caged executable with the intended memory-saving use cases.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Docker is nice of course for using of node-caged for your deployed stuff
But would be nice also to have node-caged on your developer's computer too
For example, I want todo brew install node-caged and link my node executable to node-caged
Most likely it's allows to reduce RAM usage of your developer machine when you working with tsserver what hungry to RAM or some TUI like qwen-code, etc
