A small patch release with two install-path fixes: interactive terminals get their animated progress bar back, and embedders can build native packages again. Fixed

• Restore the animated progress bar in interactive terminals (#1117 by @jdx) — An AUBE_TTY_PROGRESS gate introduced back in v1.10.0 had quietly routed every interactive terminal to the CI-oriented append-only heartbeat, so installs appeared to jump in ~2s chunks (0% → 83% → 100%) instead of animating. That gate is removed: stderr TTYs now get the smooth in-place bar again, while pipes and CI runners still use the line-oriented heartbeat. --reporter=append-only remains available to force line output on demand.
• Bootstrap node-gyp in-process instead of re-execing aube (#1114 by @jdx) — When aube is embedded as a library (e.g. mise's npm backend), the node-gyp bootstrap shelled out to current_exe, which named the host binary and failed with error: unexpected argument '--ignore-scripts' found. This broke installs of any npm package whose build scripts reach node-gyp (gemini-cli, vercel, wrangler, orval, and others) on a cold cache. The bootstrap now runs in-process under the existing project lock, so native builds work for embedders. Standalone aube behavior is unchanged.
