Pull Request Overview

This PR introduces error handling for cases when the GitLab CLI is required (via the publishToCatalog option) but not installed.

• Added a new test to verify that a SemanticReleaseError is thrown when the GitLab CLI is absent.
• Updated verify.js and publish.js to use a glab wrapper that calls the GitLab CLI and handles errors.
• Extended the error definitions with a new error code EGLABNOTINSTALLED.

• [nitpick] Consider adding a test case when publishToCatalog is false to verify that the GitLab CLI verification is correctly skipped.

const execa = (await td.replaceEsm("execa")).execa;

Pull Request Overview

This PR introduces error handling to ensure that the GitLab CLI is installed when the "publishToCatalog" option is enabled. Key changes include:

• Adding a test in test/verify.test.js that verifies a SemanticReleaseError is thrown when the GitLab CLI is missing.
• Updating lib/verify.js to check for the GitLab CLI by executing "glab version" and pushing an error if it fails.
• Replacing direct execa calls with a dedicated glab wrapper in both lib/publish.js and lib/glab.js, and extending error definitions in lib/definitions/errors.js.

• The test description refers to 'GitLab CI' while the error messages and logger indicate 'GitLab CLI'. Consider updating the description to 'GitLab CLI' for consistency.

• [nitpick] Ensure that using the glab wrapper here is consistent with its usage elsewhere in the code, confirming that all GitLab CLI invocations follow the same error handling and timeout patterns.
