Summary
This adds an RFC for an opt-in hermetic Node.js runtime driven by an immutable
execution manifest and a process-wide virtual host.
The proposal keeps Node independent of any build system, gives
node:fs, CJS,ESM, workers, and loaders one logical filesystem, and lays out focused patches
for startup policy, filesystem enforcement, module identity, ambient inputs,
and a strict runtime target.
It also keeps the security boundary explicit: Node can govern Node-owned
access, while native addons, FFI, and arbitrary child executables still require
OS isolation.
Validation
Documentation-only change.
git diff --checkpasses, and the RFC is wrapped tothe repository's existing Markdown style.
