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.
