How can I build a Node.js project that includes third-party modules, such as Express for building a web API, into a standalone executable?

[thk61159]

When building an executable for my Nest.js project, which is used to create a web API, with SEA, I encounter the need to reassign the require function as require = require('node:module').createRequire(__filename) when using third-party modules. Additionally, I must ensure that my node_modules folder is included when distributing the release to ensure proper functionality. To run my executable without relying on the presence of Node.js in the environment, I disable Node.js and execute the executable independently.

1. Why do third-party modules work without being turned into binaries and without requiring Node.js in the environment?
2. Why doesn't it work similarly to using pkg?
