fix(cli): generate projects against the 1.0 beta line; release CLI + UI as 1.0.0-beta.1

[abernatskiy]

Makes the CLI usable on the 1.0 beta line, and brings @subsquid/pipes-cli and @subsquid/pipes-ui onto it so all three packages ship a beta.

The bug

Generated projects pinned "@subsquid/pipes": "^1.0.0". ^1.0.0 excludes prereleases, and every published 1.0 version is one (1.0.0-alpha.1 … 1.0.0-beta.1), so the range matches nothing:

$ npm view '@subsquid/pipes@^1.0.0' version
npm error 404 No match found for version ^1.0.0

Every project pipes init generated therefore failed to install.

The fix

^1.0.0-beta.1 — a prerelease-aware range that takes the 1.0 betas today and the stable 1.0.0 once it ships (it does not widen to 2.x prereleases).

Verified end to end with a project generated from this branch:

• pnpm install resolves @subsquid/[email protected]
• tsc --noEmit passes against the beta API
• pnpm test in packages/pipes-cli: 289 passed, 3 snapshots updated (the pin appears in generated package.json snapshots)

Version bumps

package	before	after
@subsquid/pipes-cli	1.0.0-alpha.1	1.0.0-beta.1
@subsquid/pipes-ui	1.0.0-alpha.8	1.0.0-beta.1

@subsquid/pipes is already at 1.0.0-beta.1. The UI bump is version-only; no code change.

These bumps are required before tagging, since release.yml gates tag == package.json version. After merge, release with:

pipes-cli-v1.0.0-beta.1
pipes-ui-v1.0.0-beta.1

Both land on the beta dist-tag (the workflow keeps prereleases off latest, by design). The CLI tarball's own @subsquid/pipes pin is rewritten at prepack to the exact workspace version, 1.0.0-beta.1, which is already on npm — so the workflow's "core must be published first" gate is satisfied.

Why this matters beyond the pin

The published CLI (alpha.4, and latest still points at the much older alpha.1) predates the contract-first config model — it still expects sink/network instead of projectFolder/target/defaultNetwork/templates. The docs already document the new schema, so the docs describe a CLI that isn't on npm until this ships.

Note that latest for @subsquid/pipes-cli remains 1.0.0-alpha.1 after this release. The docs are being updated to pin @beta explicitly rather than relying on latest.
