chore(release): consume @deepgram/agents from npm, drop sibling checkout, force 0.1.0

[lukeocodes]

Summary

phase 2 of the soft-launch release sequence. now that @deepgram/agents@0.1.1 is on npm, @deepgram/react can install it from the registry instead of a sibling checkout.

four things in one PR:

1. drops cross-repo sibling checkout from @deepgram/react CI and publish workflows. each repo installs cross-repo deps from npm now.

2. switches the agent dep to npm: packages/react/package.json now has "@deepgram/agents": "^0.1.1" instead of file:../../../agent/packages/sdk. the publish workflow no longer needs the file-pointer swap step.

3. forces the first release to 0.1.0 via release-please's release-as. release-please was going to 1.0.0 because bump-minor-pre-major does not apply to the first release. release-as should be removed once 0.1.0 is tagged (post-launch follow-up).

4. absorbs five dependabot PRs:

   • #2 setup-node v4 -> v6
   • #3 actions/checkout v4 -> v6
   • #5 typescript 5.9.3 -> 6.0.2
   • #6 googleapis/release-please-action v4 -> v5
   • #7 deps group (happy-dom 20.9.0, react 19.2.5, react-dom 19.2.5, terser 5.46.2, vite 8.0.10)

   v6 actions move off the deprecated node20 runtime onto node24.

Why

the previous CI used actions/checkout@v4 with path: ../agent to side-load the agent repo, then built @deepgram/agent locally before installing react. actions/checkout rejects paths outside $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so this had been failing on every CI run. treating cross-repo deps as plain npm deps removes the whole class of problem.

Repository metadata

added repository (with directory: packages/react for monorepo awareness), homepage, and bugs to packages/react/package.json upfront. the agent SDK had to ship a 0.1.0 -> 0.1.1 hotfix because npm provenance rejected publish without these fields. doing it now avoids the same dance for react.

Renames

every @deepgram/agent reference (imports, types, mocks, vite aliases, tsconfig paths, README, .agents notes) is now @deepgram/agents to match the SDK's npm name.

Test plan

• bun install clean (resolves @deepgram/agents@0.1.1 from npm)
• bun run typecheck clean
• bun run build clean (dist/index.cjs 6.42 kB, gzipped 2.00 kB)
• bun run test 35/35 passing
• CI green on this PR
• release-please opens release react 0.1.0 PR after merge
• merge that PR -> @deepgram/react@0.1.0 on npm
