So adjust the LC global $PATH to shell's $PATH. Minimal:

on preopenstack
   put "/usr/local/bin:" before $PATH
   -- put ":/usr/local/bin" after $PATH
end preopenstack

The second line prefers "system installations" before "user installations".

Possibly. Maybe an addendum to http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10569, although that's four years old now (wow - even Mark Waddingham's enhancement requests don't get any love).

I think the documentation on the shell() command needs some work to cover things like this (hint for anyone who wants to take this task on). The shell you get when you invoke the shell() command is a bit the same as the shell you get in the terminal prompt and a bit not. You're running into one of the nots.

Another way around this is to specify the absolute path to node instead of letting the OS get it from the PATH env variable. You could also change the PATh setting in one of the config rc files... I'm not at my Mac right now, so I can't tell you which one.
