Subject: [PATCH] Mempool: use preBuild cd instead of postUnpack so npmDeps
 fetcher finds lock files

postUnpack did not run in the npmDeps fixed-output derivation, so
prefetch-npm-deps couldn't find package-lock.json. preBuild runs in
both the fetcher and main build, ensuring consistent CWD for the lock
file lookup. Backend patch moved to prePatch/postPatch so it only
applies in the main build.

npmDepsHash values remain placeholders (lib.fakeHash).
