fix: bake version at build time and remove Playwright from login flow

- Move build/package steps to semantic-release prepare phase via @semantic-release/exec
  so __PKG_VERSION__ is baked in AFTER the version bump
- Remove redundant build/package steps from release.yml CI
- Add define for process.env.__PKG_VERSION__ to ESM bundle (was only in CJS)
- Update integration login tests to match new gh auth token flow
