test-unit-php and test-unit-ruby exited 0 whenever the interpreter or the
vendor tree was missing, so both suites were silently absent from every
gate. They now provision their toolchain through install-php/install-ruby
and fail loudly when that is impossible.
The three ensure_*_present helpers collapse into ensure_command_present
in system_pkg, and the ruby runner rejects an empty suite because
minitest reports success when nothing was required.
test-unit-javascript ran `node --test` without declaring where node
comes from, while its python sibling declares `install`. On a bare
distro image the target died with `exec: node: not found` (127), which
took down the pre-commit hook and all five test-workspace jobs.
The installer stack already knows how to pull a command from the system
package manager; node was simply missing from the table. Wiring the
target to install-node provisions it the same way php, ruby and npm are
provisioned, and fails loudly when the runtime cannot be installed
rather than skipping the suite.
