ci(release): install deps before finalize version bump

[juliusmarminge]

Summary

The Finalize release job in .github/workflows/release.yml failed on the latest stable release (run #24543937441) with:

Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package '@t3tools/shared' imported from /home/runner/work/t3code/t3code/scripts/update-release-package-versions.ts

scripts/update-release-package-versions.ts imports @t3tools/shared/cliArgs (a workspace package), but the finalize job only set up Bun and Node — it never ran bun install, so the workspace symlink in node_modules did not exist and Node 24's native TS loader failed module resolution.

This adds the missing bun install --frozen-lockfile step before Update version strings, matching the pattern already used by preflight, build, and publish_cli in the same workflow.

Test plan

• Re-run the failed release workflow (or wait for the next stable tag) and confirm the Finalize release job passes the Update version strings step.

Note

Low Risk
Low risk: adds a missing bun install --frozen-lockfile step to the CI workflow, affecting only the release pipeline execution order.

Overview
Fixes the Finalize release GitHub Actions job by installing dependencies before running scripts/update-release-package-versions.ts, ensuring workspace packages resolve correctly.

This inserts bun install --frozen-lockfile after Node/Bun setup and before the version update/format/commit steps, aligning finalize with the other release jobs.

Note

Install dependencies before version bump step in release preflight job

Adds a bun install --frozen-lockfile step to the preflight job in release.yml before the version bump finalization runs. This fixes a missing dependency setup that caused the subsequent step to fail.
