Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ci: extract CLI install test to reusable workflow, run
 Windows nightly

Extract the cross-platform CLI install test to a reusable workflow
(cli-install-test.yml) that can be called with or without Windows.

- Release workflow: calls without Windows (~3 min vs ~13 min)
- Nightly (6am UTC): runs full matrix including Windows
- Manual dispatch: can choose to include Windows
