This consolidation PR's breadth (28 changed test files) exposed a scoped-test-lane
capacity limit: ci-test-scope pulls the 3–6 min release-tarball-smoke.install.test.cjs
(npm pack + npm install -g, 10MB/1499 files) into the targeted+windows lane whenever
install files change AND when it is itself a changed file — bundling it with the other
27 files overran the 600s per-chunk timeout on windows-latest-24 (deterministic).
release-tarball-smoke has its OWN dedicated workflow (.github/workflows/install-smoke.yml,
triggered on the production install paths), so its scoped-lane run is redundant. Add a
SCOPED_LANE_EXCLUDE guard that drops it from both targeted_tests and windows_tests however
it entered (matched rule OR changed-file), and remove it from the install rule's tests list.
Update the ci-test-scope.test.cjs assertion accordingly. No coverage lost.
