ci: run the pre-push hooks sequentially

`go test -race ./...` saturates every core for ~47s, and the UI tier
it was sharing them with is a real Chromium with wall-clock timeouts.
So the browser lost, at random: setup took 106s inside the hook
against 63s standalone, and a different suite failed on each run --
three failing to fetch setup.ts from Vitest's own dev server once, a
15s "did not mount itself" the next time -- against a suite that
passes 898/898 five times running on its own.

That reads as "your branch broke the frontend" when nothing is wrong,
which is the most expensive kind of false negative: the next person
bisects a change that was never at fault. It cost two pushes here
before the summary line gave it away.

Sequential costs about 15s.

Closes #128
