Can we download the binary as a part the build&publish process instead?

yeah, I think so.
Should we keep using the local k6 for development 🤔

Probably! Although I don't yet understand the implications of either choice

Bundling everything would have made it work out of the box.
Bundling only on release means that locally we need an alternative when developing, running the local k6 version is a good option with the only caveat is possibly running a different k6 version than the one you are going to bundle.
I can take more time to look into it 🙇

What if we download the binary on npm start if it doesn't exist in the folder?
Closes https://github.com/grafana/k6-cloud/issues/2496
The files start to be big but still manageable, we might have to consider for the future to run the local k6 in development and bundle k6 only when building the final binary.
