fix(npm): no cache fallback without an absolute home directory

The release-gate Codex review found the relative-path fix incomplete:
with XDG_CACHE_HOME unset and HOME empty or relative, the fallback was
`.cache/...` under the current directory, so a checkout could plant the
binary the launcher runs. Use the home cache only when the home path is
absolute; otherwise the package's bin/ is the only location. npm smoke
plants such a binary and checks it is never run (it was, before this).
