[bug]: @aptos-labs/ace-sdk missing from npm registry (404 Not Found)

[ToanBm]

Affected product

SDK (JS/TS)

Version / Commit / Build

Latest main branch

Platform / Environment

Other, Linux

Steps to Reproduce

1. Navigate to the root directory of the shelby/examples repository.
2. Ensure the @aptos-labs/ace-sdk override is either removed or incorrectly pointing to npm:noop@latest in
   package.json
3. Execute pnpm install.

Expected Behavior

pnpm install should execute successfully, fetching @aptos-labs/ace-sdk from a valid registry or local workspace. The token-gated application should be able to import ace.Committee and other encryption methods without runtime errors.

Actual Behavior & Errors

The installation fails with a 404 error because the package is not found on the public npm registry:
ERR_PNPM_FETCH_404 GET https://registry.npmjs.org/@aptos-labs%2Face-sdk: Not Found - 404

Impact: Currently, the monorepo uses a workaround by aliasing this package to noop@latest in the root
package.json
. This bypasses the installation error but causes critical runtime failures in apps/solana/token-gated/app/lib/encryption.ts as the encryption functionality is replaced by empty functions.
