Re-enable MetadataMergeStage in parse_qmd_to_ast, enable test:ci in CI

- Re-enable MetadataMergeStage in parse_qmd_to_ast so format is injected
  into merged metadata (needed by formatDetection tests and PreviewRouter).
  Remove the commented-out AstTransformsStage entirely — parse_qmd_to_ast
  intentionally returns a pre-transform AST for Elliot's debug renderer.
- Delete stale PreviewRouter.test.ts (file moved to render/ subdirectory,
  test was never visible in CI since test:ci was disabled).
- Uncomment test:ci step in ts-test-suite.yml so hub-client tests run in CI.
