Description

Every Meteor app has to have a main function. For most apps, the webapp package defines it. For apps that do not use the webapp package, they have to define it another way, but it currently isn't documented.

The relevant code is: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/1e2346cd5a31a4044afad4049dd736f518d6ea76/tools/static-assets/server/boot.js#L452-L486

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the code in boot.js around line 452-486, understand how the main function is defined for apps without webapp, and write documentation for it.
