cliffhall b18b975128 chore(scripts): treat an expression-built script name as forbidden too (#2146)
Copilot, first review:

- The guard read only literal names, so `npm run smoke:web:${{ matrix.browser }}`
  and `npm run local:${{ matrix.task }}` walked past it — the one form in which
  a forbidden engine reaches CI without anyone typing its name. It already
  refused an expression-valued SMOKE_BROWSER for that exact reason; this applies
  the reasoning consistently. Its limit is now stated: a fully opaque
  `npm run ${{ matrix.script }}` names no family and is not detectable.
- The module header claimed the gate adds "the non-Chromium engine passes";
  it adds Firefox only, and WebKit belongs to neither tier.
- eslint.config.js:33 still said `npm run ci` — the last stale reference.
- AGENTS.md read "everything from `smoke` rightward is `local:gate` only",
  which is two claims wrong: smoke and Storybook run in GitHub CI too, and
  `pack:verify` is in neither tier.

/**
* 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 **Firefox** engine pass, and `smoke:tui` really runs there rather than
* self-skipping. WebKit is on demand and belongs to neither tier.
*
* The narrow thing that must never reach CI is a **non-Chromium engine pass**.
* `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`.
* 5. Naming either family through a workflow **expression** —
* `npm run smoke:web:${{ matrix.browser }}`, `npm run local:${{ … }}`, or
* `SMOKE_BROWSER: ${{ matrix.browser }}`. This is rule 3's reason applied
* consistently: a matrix whose values the guard cannot read is a matrix
* that may well contain `firefox`, so an unreadable name is treated as a
* forbidden one rather than waved through (Copilot). Note the limit — a
* fully opaque `npm run ${{ matrix.script }}` names no family at all and
* is not detectable here; the guard covers the constructions that spell
* out a forbidden one.
*
* 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.
