👷 [ci] Improve git-cliff installation in publish workflow

 - Replace fixed-exe lookup with a recursive search (Get-ChildItem -Recurse) so git-cliff.exe can be found in nested archive directories
 - Emit directory listing on failure and throw a clear error when exe is missing
 - Use the exe's parent folder (binPath) when prepending to PATH and persist the updated PATH to GITHUB_ENV; log the discovered exe path and verify --version

🧹 [chore] Tidy Invoke-MarkdownLinkCheck.ps1 and ensure provided paths are filtered
 - Add a blank line after the EXAMPLE block for readability
 - Normalize/respect provided Paths and filter out node_modules and the script file itself to avoid self-checks and irrelevant files
