Paul BakausandClaude Code 884c9aaf3d npm shim: refuse a download with no verifiable sidecar ...

The skill launcher and `impeccable install` both fail closed when a
release binary's `.sha256` sidecar cannot be fetched or carries no hash:
they refuse rather than cache an unverified binary. The npm shim did not.
It only compared when a hash was present, so a 404, an empty sidecar, or
a truncated one all wrote the payload straight into
`~/.impeccable/bin/<version>/` and exec'd it.

It now refuses in the same cases, with wording that matches the launcher,
and writes nothing until the hash matches, so a refusal leaves the cache
dir empty. IMPECCABLE_BIN and the optional-dependency lookup are
untouched: neither downloads.

tests/cli-shim.test.mjs runs the real shim against a throwaway HTTP
server and covers missing, empty, and mismatched sidecars, plus the
matching-sidecar and IMPECCABLE_BIN paths. The two refusal cases fail
against the old shim.
