Zoltan Kochan a62f959242 fix(config): drop unresolved ${VAR} placeholders from .npmrc auth values (#11526)
Closes #11513.

`actions/setup-node` writes `_authToken=${NODE_AUTH_TOKEN}` to `.npmrc`. When the user relies on OIDC trusted publishing without setting `NODE_AUTH_TOKEN`, pnpm previously passed the literal placeholder through verbatim — so any time OIDC fallback failed, pnpm sent `Authorization: Bearer ${NODE_AUTH_TOKEN}` to the registry and the publish came back as a 404.

This worked in v10 because `pnpm publish` shelled out to `npm publish`, whose own OIDC flow handled the case.

The fix lives in `@pnpm/config.env-replace@4.1.0`, which adds an `envReplaceLossy` variant that returns `{ value, unresolved }` instead of throwing. Unresolved `${VAR}` placeholders become `''` and are reported back as a list — leaving OIDC trusted publishing as the sole auth source. Resolvable placeholders and `${VAR-default}` / `${VAR:-default}` fallbacks elsewhere in the same string still expand normally, so a value like `pre-${SET}-mid-${UNSET}-${OTHER-default}-post` now produces `pre-AAA-mid--default-post` rather than dropping every placeholder.

Also treats `{ KEY: undefined }` in the env object the same as a missing key (the `Record<string, string | undefined>` contract), so a `${KEY-default}` reaches the fallback in that case.

### Changes

- `@pnpm/config.env-replace` catalog bumped from `^3.0.2` → `^4.1.0` (`pnpm-workspace.yaml`, `pnpm-lock.yaml`)
- `config/reader/src/loadNpmrcFiles.ts` — `substituteEnv` now calls `envReplaceLossy` and pushes one warning per unresolved placeholder
- `config/reader/test/index.ts` + `parseCreds.test.ts` — regression tests covering the OIDC case, mixed resolvable/unresolved placeholders, explicit-undefined env values, and `parseCreds({ authToken: '' })`
- `.changeset/oidc-unresolved-env-placeholder.md` — patch bump for `@pnpm/config.reader` and `pnpm`
- `pacquet/crates/config/{env_replace.rs, npmrc_auth.rs, npmrc_auth/tests.rs}` — mirrors the lossy semantics in pacquet's local `env_replace_lossy`, with matching test coverage
