make dev passed --watch to a build.js that read no arguments, so it
built once and exited. build.js --watch now builds, then builds again
after every change to a file under src/, manifest/ or icons/, until
interrupted; any other argument fails. Each directory gets its own
watcher, because Node's recursive watch on Linux loses a file that an
editor saves by renaming a new copy over it. A watch build writes no
build receipt and cannot be verified; README.md and the Makefile say
so and point to make build.

- `make clean` — remove `dist/` and `release/`
- `make dev` — build in watch mode
- `make dev` — run the build `make build` runs, without the checks that follow
it, then run it again after every change to a file under `src/`, `manifest/`
or `icons/`, until interrupted. A failed build is reported, may leave `dist/`
partly written, and watching carries on. It writes no build receipt, so
nothing can verify what it leaves in `dist/` (see
[Build Receipts](#build-receipts)): anything handed on comes from
`make build`. A release build unless `AUTISTMASK_DEBUG=1` is exported. A
change anywhere else, `package.json` and `build.js` included, starts no build,
and a directory created while it runs is not watched; restart it after either
