fix(setup): add npm global prefix bin to PATH after fallback install

When corepack enable fails with EACCES (common when Node is installed to a system-writable prefix like /usr/local that the user doesn't own), we fall back to `npm install -g pnpm`. But npm's global prefix isn't always on the shell's PATH — users often set `npm config set prefix ~/.npm-global` to avoid sudo, and the resulting bin dir isn't picked up by `command -v`. Install succeeded, but pnpm "wasn't there" for the follow-up `pnpm install`.

Now after the npm fallback we query `npm config get prefix` and prepend `<prefix>/bin` to PATH. Mirror the same lookup in nanoclaw.sh right before `exec pnpm run setup:auto` — setup.sh's PATH mutation doesn't propagate back, and the hand-off needs pnpm visible too.
