Dotta a329199e99 test(skills-catalog): cover packaged npm artifacts (#8661)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The skills catalog package publishes bundled and optional skills for
installs and downstream runtime consumers.
> - Published package consumers depend on both generated catalog
manifests and the source skill files being present in the npm artifact.
> - Prior fixes improved published package resolution, but the package
contents themselves did not have a smoke test guarding against
regressions.
> - This pull request adds an npm-pack artifact test for the skills
catalog package and hardens the test cleanup path.
> - The benefit is that packaging regressions are caught before release
instead of after users install a broken catalog package.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Bug description:
The skills catalog npm artifact needs to include the generated catalog
manifests plus bundled and optional skill files. Without a package-level
smoke test, a future change to `files`, build output, or catalog paths
could publish an artifact that installs successfully but cannot serve
catalog consumers correctly.

Expected behavior:
The package artifact produced by `npm pack` includes
`dist/generated/catalog.json`, `generated/catalog.json`, representative
bundled and optional skill `SKILL.md` files, and `package.json`.

Actual risk before this PR:
Package content regressions could ship without a focused local test
detecting the missing files.

## What Changed

- Added a Vitest smoke test for `@paperclipai/skills-catalog` that runs
`npm pack --json` and verifies required artifact paths.
- Added a build fallback inside the test when
`dist/generated/catalog.json` is absent before packing.
- Packs into registered temporary directories and recursively removes
them after each test run so generated `.tgz` files do not leak when
parsing or assertions fail.
- Allows enough time for the smoke test to exercise the build fallback
path on fresh CI runners.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/skills-catalog test`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/skills-catalog clean && pnpm --filter
@paperclipai/skills-catalog test`
- Searched for duplicate/related PRs; existing PR #8327 is already
merged and this PR adds regression coverage around the package artifact.
- Checked `ROADMAP.md`; no overlapping roadmap entry for this packaging
test.
- Confirmed the branch diff does not touch `pnpm-lock.yaml` or
`.github/workflows`.

## Risks

Low risk. This is test-only coverage for package contents. The main
practical risk is a slightly slower skills catalog test run because it
invokes `npm pack` and may build the package manifest when `dist` is
absent.

> 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`.
