[AztecBot]

Prepare the requested 6.0.0-rc.7 npm prerelease so the tag-driven Release workflow can exercise the stable Aztec v6 build and publishing path.

What changed: set the package version to 6.0.0-rc.7. Aztec dependencies, Noir pins, and config.aztecVersion remain on stable 6.0.0 from PR #62.

Breaking changes: none beyond those already included in the merged v6 update.

Not in this PR: tag creation and npm publication. After merge, create v6.0.0-rc.7 at the merge commit to trigger Release; approve the existing Production gate after inspecting its built tarball. The workflow publishes under npm's rc dist-tag and smoke-tests the published package. The separate Pre-Release dispatch workflow produces a SHA-suffixed GitHub tarball, not this version. This session has no tag-creation or workflow-dispatch tool.

Validation: yarn build and git diff --check pass; the generated manifest has version 6.0.0-rc.7 and Aztec version 6.0.0. yarn lint-staged reports no applicable files. The pre-commit hook's unconditional Noir formatter could not run because aztec-nargo is unavailable, so the hook was bypassed for this package.json-only commit. Full validation is left to PR CI; npm publication remains unverified.
