chore: address Copilot review round 2 (#2226)

Browse source 
All four suppressed comments, none with an inline thread to answer.

- `docs/quality-gate.md`: the second-tier explanation was a paragraph
  *inside* the script table, which breaks the table — the `local:gate` and
  `pack:verify` rows below it would have rendered as pipe-delimited text.
  Folded back into the `verify:dep-lockstep` cell.
- `verify-dep-lockstep.mjs`: the module header and `declaredPackages`'
  summary line both still named two fields after the implementation grew a
  third. Both now name all three, and the header says which field is
  excluded and points at the reason.
- `AGENTS.md`: "Nothing keeps the surviving copies aligned, and nothing
  gates them" contradicted the sentence added later in the same paragraph.
  Split the two claims — nothing aligns them *automatically*, and the guard
  now rejects the drift; the bump is still by hand.

@ -92,7 +92,7 @@ The reasoning behind each of these, and what breaks when it is ignored, is the
- **A package that moves to the root moves its `vitest.shared.mts` pin with it.** Left pointing at `<client>/node_modules` a pin resolves to a directory that no longer exists — or, where a transitive copy happens to sit there (`chokidar` under `vite`, `react` as a peer of `react-dom` and `ink`), to the very duplicate the pin list exists to prevent. **`react` and `react-dom` are the deliberate exception** and stay pinned per client, so a client's renderer and the React it calls into come from one install; every other root-owned pin resolves from the repo root.
- **`dependencies` vs `devDependencies` follows from who consumes it at runtime**, not from where it is declared. Anything `core/` imports at runtime must be a root **`dependency`** — the client builds externalize npm packages and a published install resolves them from the root manifest, where devDependencies are absent.
- **The shared toolchain is declared once, at the repo root, and in no client manifest.** `eslint`, `@eslint/js`, `typescript-eslint`, `globals`, `prettier`, `typescript`, `vitest`, `@vitest/coverage-v8` and `@types/node` are used by every client's own scripts, and a client that declares none of them still resolves the root copy by walk-up — `npm run` puts each ancestor `node_modules/.bin` on `PATH`, and Node and TypeScript walk parent `node_modules` / `node_modules/@types` the same way. `clients/launcher` declares no `devDependencies` at all and its `validate` is unchanged. A client-side declaration buys nothing and installs a second copy free to drift, as `globals` (`^17.7.0` root / `^17.4.0` clients) and `typescript-eslint` (`^8.65.0` / `^8.56.1`) had before #2196. These stay **`devDependencies`** — none is consumed at runtime and the tarball ships only each client's `build/`. The boundary is **used by every client**, not "used by one": anything narrower stays where it is, whether one client declares it (`tsx`, `playwright`, `storybook`, `happy-dom`, `ink-testing-library`, `vite-node`, each client's own `@types/*`) or several do — `tsup` is declared in web, cli and tui, and `vite` in web and tui on top of the root **runtime** `dependency` that `--web --dev` needs. Those are out of scope here; consolidating them is a different call with a different rationale.
- ⚠️ **Deleting the declaration does not always delete the copy, and the local copy still wins.** npm auto-installs an unmet **peer** into the install that needs it, and it has no visibility into the root's tree — so a client-only ESLint plugin drags a client-local `eslint` in (`eslint-plugin-react-refresh`/`-storybook` in web, `eslint-plugin-react-hooks` in tui), and web's Storybook/Vitest stack drags in a local `typescript` and `vitest`. A hoisted transitive does the same: `@types/express` puts an `@types/node` in web and cli. Those copies sit *nearer* than the root's and take precedence. The consolidation is therefore about **one declaration and one place to bump**, not about a single copy on disk. ⚠️ **Nothing keeps the surviving copies aligned, and nothing gates them.** A **peer** copy is at least constrained by its holder's peer range — tightly for `vitest` (an exact peer, hence the pin below), loosely for `eslint` (`^9 || ^10`), where the copies agree only because npm resolves the same latest in both installs. A **transitive** copy is constrained by nothing of ours at all, and cli's `@types/node` (`24.13.1` against the root's `24.13.3`) diverged on exactly that. **Since #2226 `verify:dep-lockstep` does catch this class** — its second tier compares every package any install *declares* against every top-level copy across all five installs, independent of what a `tsc` program loads, so a transitive drift and a peer shadow (`eslint`, `typescript`, `vitest`) are both in scope now. Two limits remain: the tier reads lockfiles, so a tool binary you installed by hand and never committed is still invisible; and it only compares names some manifest declares, so a purely transitive package no manifest names is out of scope in both tiers unless a `tsc` program loads both copies. Aligning a stale install is `npm update <pkg>` there; a transitive copy that will not move takes an `overrides` entry in that install (`clients/cli` pins `@types/node` this way).

- ⚠️ **`vitest`, `@vitest/coverage-v8` and web's `@vitest/browser-playwright` are pinned exactly, and move together.** `@vitest/browser-playwright` declares an **exact** peer on `vitest`, so it — not the root range — decides which `vitest` web installs. Left to float, the root resolves a newer patch and web's tests then run on one `vitest` while loading a coverage provider built against another. Bumping means editing all three in one change, the same discipline the exact `prettier` pin (#1790) exists for.
- **A root-declared package that `core/` imports at runtime must also be named in all three bundler `external` lists** (`clients/{cli,tui}/tsup.config.ts`, `clients/web/tsup.runner.config.ts`), since which client reaches it is a function of what `core/` imports rather than of what the client's own code names. `npm run verify:bundle-externals` enforces this against the **built output**.
- **A dependency that renders React components must be bundled** into the client that uses it (`noExternal`) and declared only there — an externalized one resolves its own `react` and splits the tree. `ink` is the single exemption, on cost, and it is only safe while the root `react` range stays open to the whole major (`^19.0.0`).
