Subject: [PATCH] fix: let aube's preinstall run so mise installs a working
 binary

mise 2026.8.5 changed the npm backend: it now resolves and links packages
itself instead of shelling out to npm, and it passes --ignore-scripts.
@endevco/aube ships no bin/ -- its "preinstall" runs
installArchSpecificPackage.js, which downloads the ~48M arch-specific
binary. With scripts skipped, mise installed a package with no
executable, recorded backend metadata saying so, and dropped the aube /
aubr / aubx shims entirely. `aube` became command-not-found.

Both settings are required; verified by removing each in turn:
- shell_out = true alone: npm runs but still with --ignore-scripts, and
  mise warns it skipped the preinstall.
- npm_args alone (shell_out = false): mise's internal installer ignores
  it and the binary is never fetched.
Together: install is clean, `aube --version` and `aubx --version` both
report 1.38.1 through the shims.

shell_out = true does reintroduce npm subprocesses, which is the surface
the 2026-08-12 fork bomb recursed through. That is acceptable only
because the box now runs mise 2026.8.5, which includes jdx/mise#8475
(shims stripped from dependency_env PATH). Do not set this on a mise
older than 2026.8.2.

Lives here rather than machine-local ~/.config/mise/config.toml so a
fresh machine reproduces a working aube.
