OrcaWinandm4air d2dfc79764 ci(daemon): runtime-launcher protocol ratchet and Node slot marker (#24108)
* ci(daemon): gate PRs on daemon protocol crossing from the newest release

Lands daemon-protocol-facts.mjs from the Windows update diagnostic branch with a
stricter parser, and adds check-daemon-protocol-crossing.mjs (rule R1): the working
tree must attach the newest release tag's daemon. Rollback crossing is reported only.
Runs in the cross-version-wire job, which already has full tags; tag selection moves
to config/scripts/stable-release-tags.mjs so both use one rule.

* feat(persistence): run profile backups in the worker whenever its entry is bundled

* refactor(orcad): make profile and native preflight runtime-neutral

The profile preflight parser now takes the expected runtime identity from the
caller (shipped callers pass the pinned Bun identity), and the native
preflight is renamed to orcad-runtime-native-preflight with neutral wording.

* feat(runtime): pin the Node 24.21.0 server runtime with an offline CI check

Add src/shared/node-runtime-pin.ts (NODE_RUNTIME_PIN, SERVER_TARGETS,
NODE_RUNTIME_ASSETS for all 8 server targets plus the headers tarball),
generated by config/scripts/update-node-runtime-pin.mjs from the nodejs.org
and unofficial-builds SHASUMS. check-node-runtime-pin.mjs verifies, with no
network, that the pin tracks the locked Electron, matches engines.node's
major, and covers exactly SERVER_TARGETS; it runs in the static analysis job.

ORCAD_BUN_TARGETS consumers now read SERVER_TARGETS so there is one target
list; orcad's Bun runtime and build output are unchanged.

* test(persistence): skip plain-Node backup selection tests in the Bun profile suite

* fix(runtime): reject a pinned archive that belongs to another target

* ci(daemon): fail PRs that swap a runtime launcher and bump the daemon protocol

D7.1 R3: hosting orcad or the daemon on another runtime is not a protocol change,
so one PR must not do both. The launcher file list lives in the check script; the
allow-runtime-launcher-protocol-bump label overrides it.

* feat(orcad): select pinned-Node slots by a .runtime-node marker

D7.1 R5: a Node slot names its shared runtimes/node-<sha256>/node through
.runtime-node instead of .build-target, so Bun-era clients read it as a legacy
slot rather than exiting 78 on a missing bun-runtime. Nothing builds the marker yet.

* fix(runtime): load the Node pin without the typeless-module warning

check-node-runtime-pin.mjs now requires the pin and takes nodeDistArchiveName from
its own module, so it no longer loads the update script's build graph.

* fix(orcad): resolve Node slots to the design's runtimes/node-<sha>/bin/node layout
