The answer was not ChakraCore which weighed 7mb over v8 at 8m.

Iot.js weighs 512kb!
iotjs.net/

Now I can spawn inexpensive node.js (ish) processes that can act as TCP clients. In other words, killing this process kills the window in my is desktop environment.

Limitations so far, es5 so I will have to keep that in mind and the API reference is similar but not nodes.

Either way I can provide very simple io and process management, this is one step closer to a real js desktop for Linux.
