feat: gate public publishes without breaking old CLIs

Closes CLAW-526.\n\nSummary:\n- create pending skill versions and plugin releases that remain hidden until TruffleHog and ClawScan pass\n- preserve older CLI response compatibility while newer CLI output explains pending security checks\n- run prepublication worker promotion/blocking for skills and plugins\n- add local-auth coverage for clean skill/plugin publish and secret-positive skill rejection\n\nValidation on PR head d2482434:\n- local: bunx tsc -p packages/schema/tsconfig.json --noEmit\n- local: bunx tsc -p packages/clawhub/tsconfig.json --noEmit\n- local: bunx vitest run convex/lib/skillPublish.test.ts convex/publishAttempts.test.ts convex/skills.versions.public.test.ts convex/packages.public.test.ts packages/schema/src/schemas.test.ts scripts/security/run-prepublication-worker.test.ts scripts/security/prepublication-worker-workflow.test.ts\n- local: bun run ci:static\n- local: bun run ci:types-build && bun run ci:packages\n- GitHub: pr-gates, static, unit, packages, types-build, e2e-http, old-cli-publish, playwright-smoke, secret scanning, CodeQL, and Vercel preview passed\n\nKnown CI note:\n- unrelated local-auth shards continued to rotate failures under the already-diagnosed local Convex starvation issue; ignored per maintainer instruction.

+## What it does
+
+This skill verifies that a released older CLI can upload a complete skill package to the staged
+publishing endpoint while the version remains unavailable through public APIs until automated
+security checks finish.
+
+## Usage
+
+- Publish this directory with ClawHub CLI version ${OLD_CLI_VERSION}.
+- Confirm the command exits successfully and returns a version identifier.
+- Confirm the public version endpoint is unavailable while checks are pending.
+- Complete clean TruffleHog and ClawScan checks.
+- Confirm version 1.0.0 becomes public.
+
+## Safety boundaries
+
+This fixture contains no credentials, executable scripts, network calls, or environment-variable
+values. Its documentation is deliberately specific so it passes the normal publish quality gate.
