Shell 1.12.1: a catalog install keeps the tarball's file modes

parseTar threw away each entry's mode, so installModule wrote every
downloaded file 0644 — including the prebuilt helpers modules ship under
bin/. spawn() then failed with EACCES: on the 1.10.2 rollout (AB,
2026-10-04) that silently killed both LTC capture (Timers 1.7.0) and SPL
metering (0.5.0) until the binaries were chmod +x'd by hand.
carryOverExecutables (1.9.2) never applied: it only carries files the
download does NOT include, and these downloads include the helpers.

parseTar now keeps the header's mode field (permission bits only,
defaulting to 0644) and both writers pass it on: installModule's staging
and the archive-based shell update. The unbundled-shell test's mock repo
now ships an executable bin/ helper and asserts it still spawns-worthy
after a catalog install, alongside the existing carry-over check.
