fix(ci): cp -r instead of cp -al — /opt and /workspace are different filesystems

The hardlink-copy fix landed and immediately broke with:
  cp: cannot create hard link 'node_modules/<file>' to
      '/opt/node_modules_cache/<file>': Invalid cross-device link

GitHub Actions runners mount the workspace volume at /workspace
(overlay-fs layered onto the runner image), and /opt is the runner
image's own filesystem. Cross-filesystem hardlinks aren't supported.

Switch `cp -al` → `cp -r`. Cost: ~5s for ~200 packages of small JS
files vs ~0s for the broken symlink. Still cheaper than the ~15s
`bun install` fallback. Realpath of /workspace/node_modules/<pkg>/...
stays inside /workspace, so bun build's sibling-dep resolution works.

Both evals.yml and evals-periodic.yml updated.

# Restore pre-installed node_modules from Docker image via hardlink copy.
# Why hardlinks instead of symlink: bun build (and Node module resolution
# in general) resolves a file's realpath when walking up to find
# node_modules/<dep>. With `ln -s /opt/node_modules_cache node_modules`,
# resolution from inside socks/build/client/socksclient.js walks the
# /opt/node_modules_cache/... realpath, where there is no parent
# node_modules dir containing smart-buffer/ip-address. With `cp -al`,
# each file's realpath is /workspace/node_modules/..., so sibling deps
# resolve correctly. Speed is comparable to symlink (hardlinks share
# inodes, no actual data copy).
# Restore pre-installed node_modules from Docker image via recursive
# copy. Symlink (`ln -s`) breaks bun's module resolution because bun
# resolves a file's realpath when walking up to find node_modules/<dep>;
# from a symlinked path, realpath escapes the workspace and sibling
# deps no longer resolve. Hardlink copy (`cp -al`) fails because /opt
# and /workspace are on different overlay-fs layers ("Invalid
# cross-device link"). Recursive copy works on every layout. Cost:
# ~5s for ~200 packages of small JS files vs ~0s for symlink — still
# vastly cheaper than rerunning `bun install` (network + resolution).
