What's the problem you want solved?

On my new laptop which hadn't had any of the patch* things installed already, I got a stack trace

oasis No configuration file found at /home/hamnox/.config/oasis/default.json, using built-in default values. +0ms
error loading sodium bindings: Cannot find module 'sodium-native'

falling back to javascript version.

This does not strictly seem like an error, given there is a javascript fallback. but it went away when I global-installed sodium-native, so :shrug:

Is there a solution you'd like to recommend?

add to package.json or have a note in the README

Could you post the output of npm ci? This should've come with Oasis, we don't have any undeclared dependencies that I'm aware of. Sodium-native is an optional dependency we get from chloride (package.json), it looks to me like npm install didn't pull it correctly.

Ah, I have the --ignore-optional command set on my global install alias. forgot I'd done that.
