Subject: [PATCH] fix(ci): drop --if-present from the lerna build step; lerna
 10 removed it
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The publish workflow ran for the first time in its life after #563 fixed its
owner guard, and failed immediately:

  ERR! lerna Unknown arguments: if-present, ifPresent

The flag was inherited from the workflow's original form and had never
executed — the job was gated on an owner that does not exist, so every run for
the life of the file was a skip. Fixing the guard is what first ran this line,
which is the same lesson the guard itself carried: a step that never runs is
indistinguishable from a step that works.

`lerna run <script>` already skips packages that do not define it, so the flag
was never needed. Verified locally against this tree: 24 projects built, exit 0.

Three master pushes have failed on this since the merge (2d98dde8, 63125dc4,
2951376c). Nothing has published yet.
