Move npm auth config to .npmrc with env vars

Centralize npm registry authentication by configuring auth tokens in .npmrc using environment variable substitution instead of manually setting npm config in CI/CD workflows. This simplifies the build pipeline and removes hardcoded auth steps while maintaining security through secrets management. Also added .claude and .vscode to .gitignore.
