Fix offline unified release gate

[tannerlinsley]

Fixes the 0.9.0 publish failure in release run 31340548562. The unified core-only fixture now derives offline link overrides from every packed dependency and isolates pnpm store and metadata caches.\n\nValidated with 263 test files / 1,777 tests, the full pnpm validate graph, and all 12 0.9.0 release artifacts plus release:check.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Release validation now links packed dependencies to local packages and installs consumer fixtures offline with isolated pnpm state. Tests verify workspace overrides, peer handling, linked directories, and installation arguments. Release evidence records successful validation for all 12 artifacts.

Changes

Offline consumer validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Dependency linking contract scripts/unified-package-artifact.mjs, scripts/unified-package-artifact.test.mjs	The artifact script maps packed dependencies to local link: paths and generates workspace overrides. Tests verify the generated configuration and disabled optional peer installation.
Isolated consumer installation scripts/unified-package-artifact.mjs	Consumer verification checks linked package directories and installs with an isolated offline pnpm store and XDG state directories.
Validation contracts and release evidence scripts/ci-workflow.test.mjs, API-FRICTION.md	CI assertions verify the installation contract and reject --prefer-offline. Release evidence documents the dependency-resolution failure and successful validation of 12 artifacts.
