build: move from pnpm to npm

Replace pnpm-lock.yaml with package-lock.json. allowBuilds for esbuild becomes
package.json#allowScripts. The Dockerfile installs with npm ci --omit=dev and
no longer prepares pnpm through corepack; .npmrc keeps engine-strict, which npm
honours natively.

minimumReleaseAgeExclude is dropped rather than translated: pnpm's
minimumReleaseAge was never set, so the 30-entry exclusion list had nothing to
exclude from. Direct dependency versions resolve identically to the pnpm
lockfile.
