cliffhall 0b64460097 chore(scripts): rename the local pre-push gate off ci, and guard it out of CI (#2146)
The root `ci` script was never what runs in GitHub CI, and the name worked
against us three ways: it collides with the built-in `npm ci` (which does
something else entirely and is one keystroke away), it invites the
cross-engine passes into a workflow by looking like the thing a workflow
should call, and it blurs "GitHub CI" and "the local gate" in every doc
that names it.

- Rename `ci` → `local:gate` and `ci:storybook` → `local:storybook`, with
  no back-compat alias: `npm run ci` now fails with npm's missing-script
  error, which prints the available scripts.

- Add `scripts/lib/workflow-gate.mjs` + its `test:scripts` suite, which
  runs over the repo's real `.github/workflows/**` and fails on an
  invocation of a `local:*` script, of a non-Chromium engine pass (derived
  from SUPPORTED_BROWSERS), or of `smoke:web:engine`, or on `SMOKE_BROWSER`
  set to anything but a literal `chromium`. It does not forbid
  `npm run smoke`, `smoke:web:chromium` or `smoke:tui` — those belong in CI
  and are there today. Comments are not scanned, so the workflow can still
  explain itself. This is the durable half; the rest is prose.

- Document the two-tier model once, in the root README ("Two tiers: GitHub
  CI and the local gate"), and point the other docs at it rather than
  restating the split.

- Sweep the ~40 stale references across README, AGENTS.md,
  .github/copilot-instructions.md, the client READMEs, the roadmap doc and
  the script headers. AGENTS.md and copilot-instructions.md change
  together, per the mirror rule.

No gate changes what it actually runs.

/**
* The guard that keeps the LOCAL pre-push gate out of GitHub CI (#2146).
*
* Two tiers run the same checks and are deliberately not the same set:
*
* - **GitHub CI** (`.github/workflows/**`) runs `validate`, `coverage`, the
* two verify gates, `smoke` and the Storybook tests. `npm run smoke` covers
* `smoke:launcher`, `smoke:cli`, `smoke:tui`, `smoke:web` and
* `smoke:web:chromium` — all of which BELONG there.
* - **`npm run local:gate`**, the pre-push gate, is a strict superset: it adds
* the non-Chromium engine passes, and `smoke:tui` really runs there rather
* than self-skipping.
*
* The narrow thing that must never reach CI is the **non-Chromium engine
* passes**. `smoke:web:firefox` was placed in the local gate on purpose (#2086,
* #2133) after a CI job was trialled and removed for never once disagreeing
* with Chromium, and `smoke:web:webkit` fails two of the three smokes outright
* for reasons nobody has identified. Confidence in the cross-engine runs is not
* high enough to let them break CI.
*
* Renaming the gate off `ci` removed the *invitation* to add it to a workflow.
* This removes the *possibility*: it is the only part of #2146 that cannot rot,
* since everything else there is prose.
*
* WHAT IT FORBIDS, and nothing more:
*
* 1. Invoking a `local:*` script. That namespace means local-only by
* construction, so the rule covers `local:storybook` and any future
* sibling without being edited.
* 2. Invoking a non-Chromium engine pass (`smoke:web:firefox`,
* `smoke:web:webkit`). Derived from `SUPPORTED_BROWSERS`, so adding an
* engine extends the guard rather than opening a hole in it.
* 3. Invoking `smoke:web:engine`, whose engine comes from the environment and
* therefore cannot be read off the workflow at all.
* 4. Setting `SMOKE_BROWSER` to anything but a literal `chromium` — the back
* door that would redirect an otherwise innocent `npm run smoke`. An
* expression (`${{ matrix.browser }}`) is flagged for the same reason as
* `smoke:web:engine`: the guard cannot tell what it resolves to.
*
* WHAT IT MUST NOT FORBID: `npm run smoke`, `smoke:web:chromium`, `smoke:tui`.
* Those belong in CI and are there today — `smoke:tui` self-skips under
* `process.env.CI` on its own, so it needs no guarding.
*
* COMMENTS ARE NOT SCANNED. A line whose first non-whitespace character is `#`
* is skipped, whether it is a YAML comment or a shell comment inside a `run:`
* block. A comment cannot invoke anything, and the workflow's value is largely
* in its prose — a guard that made the two tiers undocumentable in the file
* that implements one of them would be traded for the wrong thing.
