The test and format scripts regenerated mfer/mf.pb.go whenever
mfer/mf.proto looked newer by mtime, which a fresh checkout often causes,
so make check could rewrite a committed file and needed protoc. Nothing
regenerates it any more except make generate (script/generate), which
refuses to run unless protoc 33.4 and protoc-gen-go v1.36.11, the
versions that wrote the committed file, are on PATH, and records the
hash of mf.proto in mfer/mf.proto.sha256. A Go test compares that hash
with mf.proto and fails, naming make generate, when they differ. The
mtime rule, the unused protoc-gen-go v1.28.1 install rule, make clean's
deletion of mf.pb.go and the Dockerfile's touch workarounds are removed.
Model: opus-5-5
Adds .prettierrc and .prettierignore, a single script/prettier entrypoint shared by fmt and fmt-check so the two cannot drift, and prettier 3.9.6 pinned by yarn.lock integrity hash.
Markdown formatting is now gated in the authoritative Docker build via a new mdfmt stage, since the golangci-lint image has no node. REPO_POLICIES.md is ignored so local tooling cannot drift it from upstream.
Removes the || true that made the previous prettier invocation unable to fail.
