fix(nvim,remote-dev): fall back to PATH node + provide JRE/shellharden/python3-venv
copilot.lua was hard-coding the chezmoi-pinned Node 24 at ~/.local/share/copilot-node/bin/node, which only exists on the Arch host where chezmoi runs run_onchange_after_install-copilot-node.sh. On the remote-dev VM the path is absent, so copilot-language-server spawned with cmd[0]=<missing> and printed 'Could not determine Node.js version'. Probe the pinned path with vim.fn.executable() and fall back to 'node' from PATH otherwise. For the VM PATH 'node' to be a supported version, switch home.nix from the rolling 'nodejs' alias to 'nodejs_24' (the version the chezmoi script also pins on the host). Address the cluster of Mason install failures on the VM: - autotools-language-server, codespell, mdformat, nginx-language-server, systemdlint -- pip-installed; fail because Ubuntu's python3 ships without venv. bootstrap.sh now apt-installs python3-venv; README documents the manual command for existing VMs. - groovy-language-server -- needs a JRE. Add 'jre' to home.packages. - shellharden -- Mason's cargo fallback can't run under our leaf-tools policy. Provide the binary via nix-profile instead so Mason finds it on PATH.

- **Network for first nvim launch**: `vim.pack.add` fetches plugins
from GitHub on first start. Mason will also fetch LSP servers using
`nodejs`/`uv` from this profile.
+- **Mason pip installs need `python3-venv`**: a handful of Mason
+ packages (autotools-language-server, codespell, mdformat,
+ nginx-language-server, systemdlint) install themselves into per-pkg
+ venvs via `python3 -m venv`. Ubuntu ships `python3` without the
+ `venv` module by default. `bootstrap.sh` installs `python3-venv`
+ via apt; on an existing VM run `sudo apt-get install python3-venv`
+ once, then `:MasonToolsInstall` (or `:MasonInstallAll`) in nvim.
- **Ubuntu apt collisions**: Nix-installed binaries appear first in
PATH. The leaf-tools policy above exists precisely to keep this
shadowing contained to harmless tools.
