feat(ci): reusable cli install test workflow, windows nightly

[paulbalaji]

Summary

• Extract cross-platform CLI install test to reusable workflow (cli-install-test.yml)
• Release workflow calls it without Windows (~3 min vs ~13 min)
• Nightly at 6am UTC runs full matrix including Windows
• Manual dispatch available with option to include Windows

Timing from original run:

OS	Time
Ubuntu	~1m 20s
macOS	~3m
Windows	~13m

Removing Windows from release saves ~10 minutes per release while still catching Windows issues nightly.

Test plan

• Verify release workflow runs without Windows
• Verify nightly schedule triggers with Windows
• Manual dispatch works with include-windows option

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR introduces a reusable GitHub Actions workflow for testing CLI installation across multiple platforms and Node.js versions, then refactors the release workflow to invoke it. The new cli-install-test.yml workflow conditionally includes Windows runners and consolidates redundant test logic.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
New CLI Install Test Workflow .github/workflows/cli-install-test.yml	Introduces reusable workflow with configurable Windows inclusion, testing CLI installation on Ubuntu, macOS, and conditionally Windows using Node.js 24 and 25.
Release Workflow Consolidation .github/workflows/release.yml	Replaces inline CLI test matrix and steps with centralized workflow call, passing include-windows: false to skip Windows builds during release testing.

Poem

🧅 Some say workflows have layers, some say it's just fluff,
But when you consolidate the testing stuff,
Well that's when things get better, more organized, you see,
One workflow to test 'em all—orderly and free! 🚀
