feat(tooling): provision eask via user-local npm install

chime and linear-emacs shell out to eask but nothing installed it. The block runs npm install -g --prefix ~/.local as the user after the node tooling, so eask lands on PATH without root. A stowed .npmrc pins the same prefix in dotfiles. VM asserts both.
