cliffhall b399bc64e1 fix(scripts): find the manifest without exports, quote shell args on Windows
Copilot review round 2 (suppressed comments), all three real:

- `require.resolve("<pkg>/package.json")` is governed by the package's
  `exports`, and Node keeps no special case for `./package.json` — so a
  package declaring an `exports` map without it threw
  ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED even though its bin was installed and
  spawnable, a false "not installed" pointing at `npm install` for a
  package already on disk. Walk `resolve.paths()` instead, which never
  consults `exports`. The docblock claiming the opposite is corrected.
- `shell: true` (needed at all on Windows to start the `.cmd` shims) makes
  Node hand `cmd.exe` one space-joined string, so an argument holding a
  path with a space splits in two. Every generated path in
  pack-and-verify lives under `tmpdir()`, which sits beneath the user
  profile. Quote them via `shellArgs()` at all four spawn sites, the
  command path included — the hazard predates this PR, so fix the class.
- Document the new module: `scripts/lib/resolve-node-bin.mjs` in AGENTS.md's
  scripts/ tree, its tests in the README's `test:scripts` row.

// Shared resolver for spawning a package's CLI cross-platform (#1939).
//
// On Windows, `npx`/`npm` are `.cmd` shims, not executables — a shell-free
// `execFileSync`/`spawnSync` cannot start one (Node refuses `.cmd`/`.bat`
// spawns without `shell: true` since the CVE-2024-27980 hardening) and throws
// `ENOENT`. GitHub CI runs Linux, so the gate stayed green there while being
// unrunnable for any Windows contributor. Instead of shelling through `npx`,
// resolve the JS entry behind the package's bin and run it with
// `process.execPath`: cross-platform, shell-free (no quoting hazards), faster
// (no npx resolution), and pinned to the locally installed package exactly as
// `npx --no-install` was.

* Absolute path of the JS entry behind a package's bin (e.g. typescript's
* `tsc`, vite's `vite`), resolved from `fromDir` up the node_modules tree —
* the same walk `npx --no-install` does, minus the `.cmd` shim a shell-free
* spawn can't start on Windows. Reads the package's manifest and takes the
* path out of its `bin` field (what npx itself does) rather than resolving the
* bin path directly, because an `exports` map blocks deep resolution — Vite 8
* doesn't export `./bin/vite.js`, so `require.resolve("vite/bin/vite.js")`
* throws `ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED`.
*
* Throws if the package isn't installed from `fromDir`, declares no such bin,
* or declares one whose file is missing — the caller decides whether that's a
* hard "cannot measure" error or a fallback.
