NodeWorkerRunner

Node.js runtime support for workers that serve Effect worker requests.

NodeWorkerRunner supplies the Node implementation of the Effect worker runner platform. The exported layer runs inside a node:worker_threads worker through parentPort, or inside a child process through process.send. It listens for parent messages, runs handlers registered with WorkerRunner, sends replies over the same channel, and closes when the parent sends the close message.
