Add Node.js setup with npm caching to hourly-ci-cleaner workflow

[Copilot]

The hourly-ci-cleaner workflow was missing Node.js setup between the conditional CI status check and the npm ci step, causing dependency installation to fail when the workflow continued past the check.

Changes

• Added setup-node@v6 step between "Setup Go" and "Install npm dependencies" in hourly-ci-cleaner.md
• Configured Node 24 with npm caching for pkg/workflow/js/package-lock.json
• Regenerated hourly-ci-cleaner.lock.yml via make recompile

The compiler merged this configuration with the existing auto-generated Node.js setup, adding npm caching support to improve performance.

Workflow sequence

steps:
  - name: Check CI status    # exits if passing, continues if failing
  - name: Install Make
  - name: Setup Go
  - name: Set up Node.js     # ← added
    uses: actions/setup-node@v6
    with:
      node-version: "24"
      cache: npm
      cache-dependency-path: pkg/workflow/js/package-lock.json
  - name: Install npm dependencies

<issue_title>[ca] Add Node.js setup step before npm install in hourly-ci-cleaner</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Problem

The hourly-ci-cleaner workflow was failing because it tries to run npm ci without having Node.js set up first. While Node.js is set up at the beginning of the job (line 42), it's needed again after the CI status check step runs.

Root Cause

The workflow has this sequence:

1. Setup Node.js (early in job)
2. Check CI status - exits with code 1 if CI is passing
3. Install Make
4. Setup Go
5. Install npm dependencies ← FAILS because Node.js setup is before the conditional exit

When CI is failing, step #2 continues, but there's no Node.js setup between the conditional check and the npm install.

Fix

Added the setup-node action before the "Install npm dependencies" step to ensure Node.js is available when needed. This matches the pattern used in other workflows like ci-coach.md.

Changes

• Added setup-node@v6 action with Node 24 and npm caching
• Positioned it between "Setup Go" and "Install npm dependencies" steps
• Uses the same configuration as the main CI workflow

Testing

The workflow should now be able to:

1. Check CI status
2. If failing, set up build tools (Make, Go, Node.js)
3. Install dependencies successfully
4. Run the CI cleaner agent

Note

This commit only updates the .md file. The .lock.yml file needs to be regenerated by running make recompile, which requires a working build environment.

Subject: [PATCH] fix: Add Node.js setup step to hourly-ci-cleaner workflow

The hourly-ci-cleaner workflow was missing the setup-node action,
which caused npm ci to fail since Node.js was not available. This
adds the setup-node action with Node 24 and npm caching, matching
the configuration used in the main CI workflow.
