chore: replace yalc with pkglab for local package development

Removes yalc entirely and replaces it with pkglab, which publishes to a
real local Verdaccio registry for proper npm-like installs. Each package
now has a dev:pub script that runs the build in watch mode and fires
pkglab pub --ping on each rebuild, letting the listener coalesce rapid
publishes into batched cycles. Playground apps use workspace:* instead
of file:.yalc references.
