Use packages/npm-globals.txt as the source of truth for offline npm CLI tarballs, update Pi to 0.75.5, and keep Claude Code out of the XFCE USB path.

Build: not run — ISO build not requested
Tests: pass — sh -n fetch-npm-globals and shell-npm-globals; pinned npm pack smoke passed
Ships @anthropic-ai/claude-code, @google/gemini-cli, and
@mariozechner/pi-coding-agent as prebuilt .tgz tarballs on the install
media so the agent runtime has its CLI dependencies on first boot
without network access.
Critical: installs to /home/clawdie/.npm-global to match the
npm_config_prefix set by shell-system.sh in /etc/profile.d/clawdie.sh,
so the clawdie user's PATH (and the agent's commandExists() probes)
actually resolve the binaries.
- scripts/fetch-npm-globals.sh: npm pack the 3 CLIs into tmp/npm-globals/
- firstboot/shell-npm-globals.sh: offline install as clawdie user with
matching prefix, runs between pkg setup and deploy
- build.sh: fetch + bundle into ${SHARE}/npm-globals/
- firstboot.sh: source module and run_step before deploy
