fix(ship): preflight the lockfile parse before any version write

Addresses the partial-write case raised in review on #1862.

cmdWrite wrote VERSION, then package.json, and only then called
writeLockVersion(), which did its read + JSON.parse internally. A malformed
lockfile therefore exited 2 with VERSION and package.json already bumped —
three files disagreeing, and no state classify() can name. cmdRepair had the
same ordering.

Split writeLockVersion() into planLockVersion() (read + parse + prepare the
updated content in memory, exit 2 on unreadable/malformed/non-object) and
commitLockVersion() (write the prepared plan). Both write and repair now
preflight before their first write, so the deterministic failure — a lockfile
we can't parse — is caught with nothing written.

Exit codes are unchanged: malformed still exits 2, a genuine I/O failure at
write time still exits 3. Only the filesystem state on the exit-2 path changes.
Full atomicity across three files would need temp-file + rename to close the
preflight/write TOCTOU window on permissions; that's out of scope here and the
exit-3 message still reports the half-write honestly.

The packages[""] sync is now shape-checked rather than truthiness-checked. A
corrupt lockfile can put a primitive there, and assigning .version to it throws
under ESM strict mode — previously absorbed by the caller's catch as exit 3, but
after the split it would escape planLockVersion as an uncaught TypeError. It now
degrades to a top-level-only sync, matching how an absent packages[""] (every
lockfileVersion 1 file) is already skipped.

Also adds the no-lockfile coverage suggested in review (absence is a silent
skip on both write and repair, and never creates a lockfile), and corrects the
file header, which still claimed write/repair "mutate VERSION + package.json
only".

Tests: 38 pass across gstack-version-bump + ship-version-sync (was 32). The
atomicity and packages-shape tests each fail against the implementation they
guard.
