v2.2.0: Bundled compatibility catalog and embeddable node-gyp bootstrap

A small release that gives standalone aube a bundled package-extensions compatibility catalog and exposes its node-gyp bootstrap through the public embedding facade.

Added

• Embeddable node-gyp bootstrap (#1365 by @jdx) — aube's locked, in-process node-gyp bootstrap is now available through the stable embedding facade and returns the resolved executable path. This lets embedders (e.g. mise) service aube's lazy shim command without an ambient npm or a separately installed aube binary, while aube keeps ownership of the node-gyp version, cache layout, npmrc propagation, and cross-process locking. Standalone aube's hidden __node-gyp-bootstrap command now routes through the same API, and binary lookup uses is_file() across platform names so Windows .exe/.cmd caches resolve correctly.

Fixed

• Bundled curated package extensions (#1369 by @jdx) — Standalone aube now ships a bundled compatibility catalog (~161 curated rules from Yarn's @yarnpkg/extensions@2.0.7 plus pnpm's Rust CLI additions) that repairs missing or incompatible peer/optional dependencies across common ecosystems (Angular, Nuxt, React, Vue, Gatsby, GraphQL, Webpack, Parcel, and more). The phantom rules removed upstream by pnpm are excluded. These defaults are applied at the lowest precedence — user and project packageExtensions always win — and are kept out of packageExtensionsChecksum, so catalog updates never invalidate existing lockfiles or break --frozen-lockfile. Set ignoreCompatibilityDb=true to opt out of the bundled repairs; malformed bundled entries are skipped with a WARN_AUBE_INVALID_BUNDLED_PACKAGE_EXTENSION warning rather than failing the install.
