fix(plugin-ci): use npm audit for both pnpm and npm repos (#92)

The pnpm registry audit endpoint is retired (HTTP 410).

Fix: for pnpm repos, run 'npm install --package-lock-only --ignore-scripts --quiet --no-audit'
to generate a package-lock.json from pnpm-lock.yaml metadata, then run npm audit.
For npm repos, continue using npm audit directly.

Use --audit-level=moderate to fail only on high/critical vulnerabilities,
not moderate ones, reducing noise from transitive dependencies.
