The CLI publishes as prisma, and this release is 8.0.0-rc.3 (#191)

## Before and after

```bash
# before
$ npm install -g prisma@next
npm error notarget No matching version found for prisma@next
# `prisma` on npm carries only the v7 train; nothing from this repo publishes under it.

# after (on merge)
$ npm install -g prisma@next && prisma --version
prisma 8.0.0-rc.3
```

## The decision

The `prisma` name is ours now — you configured OIDC trusted publishing
on the package — so this adds the package that uses it. Rollout-plan
step 4, which S7 deferred until the name was available.

`packages/prisma` is **the same shell under the `prisma` bin, not a
second implementation.** tsdown bundles `@prisma/cli`'s source in,
exactly as it already bundles the private telemetry package, so a
command cannot behave differently depending on which name a user
installed. Its published dependency set matches the shell's, and
`@prisma/cli` gains one export — its bin entry — so the bundling has
something to name.

Both names publish from one run: engine first, `@prisma/cli`, then
`prisma` last (dependents after dependencies). Both are in the dry-run
path too.

## What the checks now cover

The conformance run treats the new tarball on the same terms as the
others — packed output imports only what it declares, the tarball
installs into a clean sandbox, and the bin named `prisma` starts there
on plain Node. Verified against the tarball that would actually ship:

```text
name: prisma 8.0.0-rc.3
bin: {"prisma":"./dist/prisma.js"}
engine dep: 0.1.1
no workspace: leaks: true
```

## Scope of the release

Root version is `8.0.0-rc.3`, so merging this publishes under
**`next`**. `prisma@latest` stays on v7 and is untouched — moving
`latest` remains a separate deliberate act (`docs/oss/versioning.md`).

Three pin exceptions still ride along, unchanged: composer and the ORM
toolchain pin engine `0.0.9` in their currently-published versions.
Their adaptations to `0.1.1` are merged/approved but not yet released,
so this release still resolves those older engines. The exceptions are
keyed on the observed versions and die when the two products publish —
that is the next release, not this one.

## Alternatives considered

**A thin wrapper depending on `@prisma/cli`.** Its `exports` map exposes
nothing importable, so a wrapper would have nothing to call; adding a
runtime export surface to publish a bin is worse than bundling.

**Renaming `@prisma/cli` to `prisma`.** Breaks every existing install of
the scoped name, which the rollout plan keeps alive until the cutover
deprecates it deliberately.

**Waiting for the two product releases first.** Would delay proving the
pipeline for no gain: `next` is a channel nobody lands on by accident,
and the clean-pin release follows within hours.
