fix: base install no longer implies padatious

[JarbasAl]

Every ovoscope install used to pull in ovos-core[lgpl,plugins], which pulls in ovos_padatious even when a suite only wants the padacioso or Model2Vec pipelines. Padatious registers and trains synchronously in the background, so a padacioso-only test cell was seeing an extra mycroft.skills.trained bus message it never asked for (see OpenVoiceOS/ovos-skill-hello-world#125). Padatious is archived and should not ride along on a bare install.

The dependency is now plain ovos-core>=2.0.4a2. ovos-workshop, one of ovos-core's own dependencies, pins padacioso unconditionally, so a bare install still ships that one pipeline matcher — nothing else.

Extra	Adds	Used by
(base)	padacioso only, transitively via ovos-workshop	every install
engines	nebulento, Model2Vec, Adapt	ovoscope.golden multi-engine runner, the live pipeline harness tests
padatious	ovos-core[plugins] (Padatious)	suites still exercising the archived legacy matcher
test / dev	everything the unit suite imports, including engines	CI, local dev

Coverage that silently disappears on a missing optional dependency is a bug in its own right, so the five tests that assumed the full padatious/padacioso/nebulento set was always installed are marked pytest.mark.padatious (registered in pyproject.toml) instead of skipping. CI now runs two lanes on every PR: build_tests (Python 3.10–3.14) installs .[test] and runs -m "not padatious"; a new padatious_cell job (Python 3.11) installs .[test,padatious] and runs -m padatious. One tiny test in each lane asserts ovos-padatious's importability the way that lane expects (present in the padatious cell, absent in the base lane), so a wrong extras list fails loudly instead of quietly changing the pass count. Locally: base lane 681 passed / 27 skipped / 6 deselected; padatious lane 6 passed / 708 deselected.

I checked every consumer in the OVOS org that installs ovoscope[...]: they only use the media and tts extras, neither of which touches padatious, adapt, or [plugins], so this change does not affect them.

Fail-before: in a fresh venv, reverting only the pyproject.toml dependency line and reinstalling pulls in ovos-padatious==2.1.1a1 (and uv warns that ovos-core's current PyPI release no longer even has a [lgpl] extra); with the fix the same install raises PackageNotFoundError for ovos-padatious, import ovoscope still works, and the padacioso OPM pipeline entry point is present via importlib.metadata.

Downstream integration: I installed this checkout editable over a fresh clone of ovos-skill-hello-world's test/drop-padatious branch (with the ovoscope line stripped from its e2e requirements) and ran its padacioso-only cell (TestNoAdaptPipeline): both tests pass, and a manual message capture on the same scenario shows no mycroft.skills.trained message at all.

Unrelated finding: build_tests (3.10) failed three times on test_media.py::TestOCPHarnessNamespaceBridging::test_no_bridging_isolates_spec_from_legacy (PlayerState.STOPPED instead of PLAYING). This repo does not use pytest-randomly (no such plugin is installed or listed in the CI log), so ordering is deterministic, not seed-based. I reproduced it locally on a Python 3.10 venv by running the same ~456-test prefix that precedes it in collection order, but bisecting that prefix in half — and further down to just the real-MiniCroft-booting files — never reproduces it alone; only the full run does. That points to cumulative CPU/thread load exposing a fragile time.sleep(0.05)-then-assert wait in the OCP harness test itself on the slower Python 3.10 interpreter, not a single discrete test leaking state. I did not find a specific leaking test to fix, so I have not opened a follow-up PR guessing at one; this is unrelated to the padatious/extras change in this PR either way.
