ci: switch pipelines to pre-baked ci-base image (consumer) [Phase 1b]

Consumer half of the Woodpecker CI cache work (#634). Re-scoped from the
original combined change: the image recipe (Dockerfile.ci, ci-image.yml)
now lives in the producer PR #637. This branch only flips the consumers.

- ci.yml / publish.yml: pull git.mosaicstack.dev/mosaicstack/stack/ci-base
  :latest for the install step and resolve from the baked pnpm store via
  --prefer-offline (drops the per-run apk add + cold network fetch).
- framework monorepo template: single cached install instead of npm ci per
  step, so scaffolded repos inherit the fix.

B2 fix (blocker): pin store-dir in root .npmrc to
/root/.local/share/pnpm/store — the exact path Dockerfile.ci warms — so the
pipeline install actually consumes the baked store instead of repopulating
a fresh one. The existing @mosaicstack registry line is preserved.

BLOCKED ON: PR #637 merge + a manual ci-image prime of ci-base:latest on
main. Until the image is primed this branch's CI is red (it pulls an image
that does not exist yet). Do not merge until a green re-run after priming.

+# #631 — re-seed must preserve user fleet data (CRITICAL data-loss)
+
+- **Issue:** #631 · **Branch:** `fix/631-reseed-preserves-fleet-data`
+
+## Root cause
+
+`mosaic update` auto-runs `install.sh` keep-mode sync (#610). install.sh's rsync `--delete` (keep mode)
+honored PRESERVE_PATHS, but `fleet/` wasn't listed → the sync WIPED `~/.config/mosaic/fleet/roster.yaml`
+(+ run/, agents/). Any user running `mosaic update` lost their roster. (overwrite mode wipes by design;
+the live loss was keep mode.)
+
+## Fix (PRIMARY)
+
+- install.sh PRESERVE_PATHS += `fleet/*.yaml`, `fleet/agents`, `fleet/run` — the framework still SEEDS
+  fleet/examples + fleet/roles + fleet/roster.schema.json (synced), but user files survive.
+- Made the cp-fallback (no-rsync) GLOB-AWARE so `fleet/*.yaml` preserves every user roster there too;
+  fixed the restore to re-glob per-pattern (so only the user file is restored, not the whole fleet/ dir).
+- file-adapter.ts (TS installer): mirrored the preserve list for parity. (TS syncDirectory is copy-only,
+  never --delete, so it never had the bug — belt-and-suspenders + parity.)
+
+## Fix (SECONDARY)
+
+- `refreshActiveFleetUnits()` (update-checker.ts): the re-seed updates ~/.config/mosaic/systemd/user but
+  systemd runs ~/.config/systemd/user, so unit fixes (#627) didn't take effect. After the re-seed,
+  `mosaic update` now copies the fresh mosaic-\*.service → the active dir + daemon-reload (best-effort,
+  only when a fleet is already installed). Wired into the cli.ts update flow.
+
+## Verification
+
+- bash F6 fixture (6 checks: roster/custom-yaml/agents/run survive + examples refreshed + schema seeded);
+  20/20 migration matrix green. TS file-adapter test (roster/run/agents survive keep sync). 2 unit tests
+  for refreshActiveFleetUnits. tsc/eslint/prettier/sanitize clean.
