Note that that's not how JCO works: JCO unbundles a Component, emitting core wasm modules plus JS glue code. JCO also is a toolchain that can orchestrate turning JS into a Component, and that does bundle a JS runtime (StarlingMonkey), but that's not for running Components in JS/browsers, but for running JS in Component runtimes, such as Wasmtime.
Apologies for consuming your time unnecsesarily & for misinformation! Mea culpa! Sorry again, & thank you so much for writing in! Oh my gosh. I don't have a good excuse, don't know how I mis-recalled so badly; it has been a year since I looked. My interest has usually been in getting component runtimes going, less so in downcompiling components into a single blob to run (perhaps on the web), but that is still a grevious mis-statement I made, and I thank you again for showing up. Yikes. My very bad. :(
Oh, no worries at all—it happens!
