fix(release): publish all remaining @paperclipai workspace packages from CI + guard unpublishable edges (#8365)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work, distributed primarily via the `paperclipai` npm package and its
`@paperclipai/*` workspace packages.
> - The release subsystem (`scripts/release-package-*`) decides which
workspace packages CI republishes at the unified calver version each
release, and `replaceWorkspaceDeps()` rewrites every internal
`workspace:` dependency to that calver version at publish time.
> - The gap: a package that publishes from CI can declare a `workspace:`
dependency on a package that is NOT enrolled for CI publish. The
dependency spec gets rewritten to a calver version that is never
actually published, so the dependent becomes uninstallable.
> - This shipped for real: a recent change made `@paperclipai/server`
depend on `@paperclipai/skills-catalog`, but skills-catalog was not on
the calver release train — so canary builds after that merge failed to
resolve `@paperclipai/skills-catalog@<calver>` and `npx
paperclipai@canary run` broke.
> - This PR addresses it durably by (a) putting every remaining internal
package on the CI release train so no internal dependency can dangle,
and (b) adding a fail-fast guard so this class of break can never ship
again.
> - The benefit is that canary and stable installs resolve all internal
dependencies, and any future unpublishable workspace edge fails the
release build with a clear, named error instead of producing a broken
package.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #8327 (introduced the `server -> skills-catalog` runtime dependency
that surfaced the gap).

No public issue tracks this; describing it in-PR:

- **Problem:** After #8327, `npx paperclipai@canary run` failed for
builds past the merge because `@paperclipai/skills-catalog` was
rewritten to a calver version that was never published (the package was
not enrolled for CI publish). Versions before the merge still ran.
- **Root cause:** A `publishFromCi:true` package can declare a
`workspace:` dependency on a package that is not `publishFromCi:true`;
the release-time version rewrite then points at a non-existent published
version.

## What Changed

- Enrolled every remaining internal package on the calver release train
by setting `publishFromCi: true` in
`scripts/release-package-manifest.json`: `skills-catalog`,
`teams-catalog`, `plugin-workspace-diff`, `plugin-kubernetes`,
`plugin-novita-sandbox`. There are now zero `publishFromCi:false`
entries.
- `skills-catalog`, `teams-catalog`, `plugin-workspace-diff` already
existed on npm — CI simply republishes them at calver.
- `plugin-kubernetes` and `plugin-novita-sandbox` were not on npm; their
one-time first publish was bootstrapped so the
`check-release-package-bootstrap` gate passes.
- Added `findUnpublishableWorkspaceEdges()` to
`scripts/release-package-map.mjs`, wired into
`buildReleasePackagePlan()`. The release map build now fails fast
(surfaced by the `check` CI already runs) whenever a
`publishFromCi:true` package declares a runtime `workspace:` dependency
(`dependencies`/`optionalDependencies`/`peerDependencies`) on a
non-`publishFromCi:true` `@paperclipai/*` package, naming the offending
edge.
- Added tests covering positive/negative detection, all three dependency
sections, unknown-package edges, off-train edges, and the live manifest.

## Verification

- `node --test scripts/release-package-map.test.mjs` → 9/9 pass
(includes a test asserting the live manifest has no unpublishable
edges).
- `node scripts/check-release-package-bootstrap.mjs
scripts/release-package-manifest.json` → passes, naming all five
newly-enabled packages (all confirmed present on npm).
- Confirmed via `npm view` that all five packages resolve on the public
registry.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change only enrolls already-existing (or
freshly-bootstrapped) packages onto the existing release train and adds
a build-time validation. No runtime code paths change. The new guard can
only *fail* a release that was already going to ship a broken package.

## Model Used

Claude Opus 4.7 (claude-opus-4-7), extended thinking, with tool use /
code execution.
