fix(sdk-ci): pin npm@11 for publish workflows (Node 20 runners)

[yardend-wix]

Why

The publish workflows run npm install -g npm@latest on Node 20 runners. On 2026-07-08 ~21:06 UTC, npm released npm@12.0.0, which requires Node >=22. So @latest now resolves to npm@12 and the step fails before anything else runs:

npm error code EBADENGINE
npm error Not compatible: npm@12.0.0
npm error Required: {"node":"^22.22.2 || ^24.15.0 || >=26.0.0"}
npm error Actual:   {"npm":"10.8.2","node":"v20.20.2"}

Nothing in the repo changed — the unpinned @latest swallowed an upstream breaking major. The last successful publish (2026-07-08 ~13:56 UTC) predated npm@12 by ~7 hours.

What

Pin to npm@11 — the newest npm that still supports Node 20 (engines: ^20.17.0 || >=22.9) — in both workflows:

• preview-publish.yml (PR preview publish — currently red on open PRs)
• manual-publish.yml (publish-on-dispatch — would fail the next real publish too)

Both files, because fixing only the preview would leave the actual publish broken.

Validates itself

preview-publish.yml triggers on pull_request, so this PR runs its own pinned version — a green check here confirms the fix.

Note

Pinning npm@11 is the minimal fix. Longer term, bumping the runners to Node 22 would allow npm@latest again; out of scope here.
