Upgrades `pnpm/action-setup` from v4.2.0 to v4.4.0 across all 16
workflow files and the shared `setup-frontend` action.
## Why
GitHub Actions will force Node.js 24 as the default starting June 2,
2026. The v4.2.0 pin ran on Node.js 20 and emitted deprecation warnings
on every CI run. v4.4.0 was released specifically to address this,
updating the action runtime to Node.js 24.
- Fixes the warning: *"pnpm/action-setup@41ff72... Actions will be
forced to run with Node.js 24 by default starting June 2nd, 2026"*

## Summary
Standardize the repo's Node contract on 24 while centralizing workflow
resolution through `.nvmrc` so local setup, CI, and package metadata
stay aligned from one version file.
## Changes
- **What**: Add `package.json` `engines.node = 24.x`, switch every
`actions/setup-node` workflow in the repo to `node-version-file:
'.nvmrc'`, and update contributor and Playwright docs to point to
`.nvmrc` as the Node source of truth.
## Review Focus
The workflow behavior should be unchanged apart from sourcing the Node
version from `.nvmrc` instead of repeating literals like `20`, `22`,
`24.x`, or `lts/*`. GitHub's formatter also moved the new `engines`
block to the package metadata section near the end of `package.json`.

## Summary
Added configurable base branch selection to version bump workflows,
enabling patch releases from `core/*` branches via GitHub Actions UI.
## Changes
- **What**: Extended [workflow_dispatch
inputs](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/events-that-trigger-workflows#workflow_dispatch)
with `branch` parameter for both main frontend and desktop-ui version
bump workflows
- **Validation**: Added branch existence check that lists available
`core/*` branches on error
- **Workflow modifications**:
- `release-version-bump.yaml`: Checkout and create PRs targeting
user-specified branch
- `version-bump-desktop-ui.yaml`: Same behavior for desktop-ui releases
## Review Focus
Branch validation logic correctly handles both local (`refs/heads/`) and
remote (`refs/remotes/origin/`) refs. Default value preserves backward
compatibility for release sheriffs unfamiliar with new feature.
## Use Case
Previously, patch releases from `core/1.29` required manual version
bumping. Now maintainers can trigger from Actions UI with dropdown
selections.

## Summary
Adds automated npm publishing for @comfyorg/desktop-ui package with
version management and release workflows.
- Ref: #5912
## Changes
- **What**: Three GitHub Actions workflows for desktop-ui npm publishing
automation
### Two functions
1. Bump action - Just creates a version bump PR for `desktop-ui`
2. Publish action - Can be run manually - essentially a function with
params / void return
### One automation
- Watches for matching commits, then calls the Publish action with
pre-filled details
## Review Focus
Security hardening and workflow correctness.
