DottaandPaperclip 08af15bd76 fix(release): omit dev dependencies from bundle staging (#12584)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The release system publishes the server package with selected
runtime dependencies inside its tarball.
> - The staging step writes a temporary package manifest before it runs
npm install.
> - That manifest kept private development dependencies that npm still
tried to resolve with `--omit=dev`.
> - The canary release then stopped because the matching private runner
version was not published yet.
> - This pull request removes development dependencies from only the
temporary install manifest.
> - The benefit is that bundled package staging installs only the
runtime dependencies that the tarball includes.

**What happened?**

The canary release failed while it prepared `@paperclipai/server`. npm
tried to resolve `@paperclipai/paperclip-runner@2026.831.0-canary.8`
from the temporary staging manifest. The runner package was not
published at that version, so npm returned `ETARGET`. See the [failed
release
job](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/33395418107/job/99504474818).

**Expected behavior**

Bundled package staging must install only dependencies that the
published tarball bundles. Private development dependencies must not
affect the staging install.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Prepare a bundled package with a public bundled runtime dependency.
2. Add an unpublished package version to `devDependencies`.
3. Run `scripts/prepare-bundled-package.mjs`.
4. Observe that npm resolves the development dependency even when the
command uses `--omit=dev`.

## What Changed

- Remove `devDependencies` from the temporary manifest used for bundled
package installation.
- Keep the final publish manifest unchanged.
- Add unit and staging regression checks for the unpublished development
dependency case.

## Verification

- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`
- `node --test scripts/acpx-patch-packaging.test.mjs` (12 passed)
- `pnpm test:release-registry` (98 passed)
- `git diff --check`
- The full test suite and build were not run. This change has focused
release-packaging coverage.

## Risks

- Low risk. The change affects only the temporary manifest used to
install bundled runtime dependencies.
- The script restores the complete publish manifest before it creates
the package tarball.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex with `gpt-5.6-sol`. The model used agentic reasoning,
tool use, and code execution. The context window size is not exposed in
this environment.
