Changes for version 2.88 - 2026-04-22
- changed automatic skill dependency order so `aptfile`, `brewfile`, `package.json`, `cpanfile`, and `cpanfile.local` run first, while the dependent-skill manifests `ddfile` and `ddfile.local` are deferred until the end of the install in that exact order
- aligned the interactive skills-install progress board with that deferred dependency order so the visible task list now matches the real runtime install sequence instead of showing `ddfile` work before the manifests that now run earlier
- switched skill `package.json` installs to `npx --yes npm install <dependency-spec...>` inside the private staging workspace before the resulting packages are merged into `$HOME/node_modules`
- updated the checkout bootstrap manifests and `install.sh` so Debian, Ubuntu, and macOS installs provision and verify `node`, `npm`, and `npx` before the dashboard is installed, keeping the blank-container tarball gate aligned with the new skill Node dependency contract
- fixed streamed `install.sh` runs such as `curl ... | sh` so they fall back to embedded `aptfile` and `brewfile` contents instead of assuming the checkout manifests are present on disk
- fixed the Debian-family old-Perl bootstrap path so `install.sh` installs `App::perlbrew` into `~/perl5/bin` when `perlbrew` is still missing after package bootstrapping
