branch.sh, finish.sh, release.sh, runner-image.sh and release-notes.sh
carried multi-paragraph 'how we got here / rejected' essays in comments. They
now live in the matching development/ category file, and each script keeps a
one-line pointer so the rationale is single-homed and cannot drift.
Add scripts/precompress.ts, a dependency-free Node 26 tool that writes
.br/.gz/.zst sidecars next to every text asset and keeps the originals, so
static-web-server can serve the variant matching Accept-Encoding and fall
back to the original. The coverage publish step runs it on the copied report.
Wire scripts/*.ts into the toolchain: type-check (tsconfig include), lint and
fix (oxlint paths), knip entry (CI invokes the file rather than importing it),
and a narrow .oxlintrc override allowing node:* imports in Node CLI scripts.
