Title: Add multi-blend-file sequence packing (CLI + Blender operator)

Body:

Summary

Add support for packing multiple blend files into a single ZIP/directory with shared dependency deduplication
New Blender operator BAT - Pack Sequence: scan a sequence folder for latest published blend files, review with checkboxes, pack to ZIP
New CLI subcommand bat pack-sequence -t output.zip file1.blend file2.blend ...
Studio template system for different folder conventions (Autour de Minuit, La Cabane Productions)

What's new

Blender addon

BAT_OT_sequence_pack operator: opens a file browser, user navigates to a sequence folder, clicks "Scan Current Folder", reviews the discovered files with enable/disable checkboxes, then packs to ZIP
Studio templates dropdown: configurable folder conventions per studio. ADM template scans // with a task selector (lighting3d, anim3d, etc.), La Cabane template scans /03_ANIMATION/Publish/
Version detection: parses _vNNN.blend filenames, picks the highest version per shot, ignores files with extra suffixes
Progress indicator: wm.progress cursor feedback during tracing and file transfer (logarithmic scale so it never saturates)
Output filename auto-inferred from scanned folder name

CLI

New bat pack-sequence subcommand with unambiguous arg parsing (-t TARGET FILE...)
Old bat pack --sequence kept with deprecation warning
derive_common_project() helper with cross-drive safety

Core packing

Packer accepts a list of blend files, traces deps for each, deduplicates via shared _actions dict
pack-info.txt lists all packed blend files when packing multiple
ZIP write start/finish logging
S3 and Shaman packers reject multi-file with clear error messages

Audit fixes (Mario + Codex/Opus cross-validation)

14 findings fixed (1 critical, 5 high, 4 medium, 2 low, 1 info):

Critical: _find_subdir_ci() used prefix match — Publish_old could win over Publish
High: Windows UNC/drive path normalization, ZIP error handling + progress bar cleanup, commonpath crash on cross-drive paths
Medium: per-shot error isolation in scan, memory warning for large sequences, type consistency for single-file operators

Test plan

28 new tests in tests/test_sequence_pack.py (all passing)
0 regressions on existing test suite (161 passed, 5 pre-existing failures from missing zstandard)
Manual testing: packed oh_la_la lighting3d sequence (4 shots) from Blender operator, verified ZIP contents include all dependencies
Test on Windows with UNC paths
Test with La Cabane Productions folder structure on their workstations

Add sequence pack operator and multi-blend-file CLI support 05d97cdeda

- Add --sequence CLI flag to pack multiple blend files together with
  shared dependency deduplication
- Add BAT_OT_sequence_pack Blender operator: scan a sequence folder for
  latest published blend files, review with checkboxes, pack to ZIP
- Add studio template system (Autour de Minuit, La Cabane Productions)
  with configurable folder conventions and task type selection
- Add BlenderProgressCallback for cursor progress indicator during pack
- Add ZIP write start/finish logging
- Deduplicate blend file paths in CLI when positional and --sequence overlap

Apply audit fixes for pack-sequence (14 findings, 28 new tests) b8cfe5c1ac

Cross-validation audit by Codex + Opus identified 14 issues:

CRITICAL:
- Fix _find_subdir_ci() prefix match accepting wrong folders (e.g.
  Publish_old). Now uses exact case-insensitive match.

HIGH:
- Add pack-sequence CLI subcommand with unambiguous arg parsing.
  Deprecate --sequence on pack (nargs='+' consumed the target).
- Fix Windows UNC/drive path normalization in bpathlib.make_absolute()
- Fix ZIP failure losing traceback + progress bar stuck on error
- Fix os.path.commonpath crash on cross-drive paths (new
  derive_common_project helper)
- Fix progress bar saturating at 40% during trace (log scale)

MEDIUM:
- Add per-shot error isolation in sequence scan (collect all errors)
- Add memory warning for >50 files in sequence pack
- Improve pack-info.txt with dedup stats
- Wrap single Path in list for old operators (type consistency)

LOW/INFO:
- Document VERSION_RE pattern
- Add TASK_CHOICE_ITEMS empty guard

28 new tests in tests/test_sequence_pack.py, 0 regressions.
