Configure prettier and make fmt-check cover markdown (closes #69)
script/fmt ran prettier with default settings over root-level *.md and
*.json, swallowing every failure with `|| true`, while script/fmt-check
checked gofmt only. The formatter and the gate therefore disagreed
silently: `make fmt` rewrote markdown that `make check` never looked at,
including REPO_POLICIES.md, which is a verbatim copy of an authoritative
upstream document that local tooling must not touch.

Configuration:

- .prettierrc pins the two policy deviations from prettier defaults,
  four-space indents and proseWrap: always. Nothing else.
- .prettierignore excludes REPO_POLICIES.md so no local run can drift it
  from upstream again, plus .golangci.yml (user-owned, and listed even
  though the current file set does not reach it) and node_modules,
  vendor, bin.

One canonical file set:

- New script/prettier takes --write or --check and applies the same
  patterns in both modes, so script/fmt and script/fmt-check cannot
  drift apart by construction. The patterns are repo-wide (**/*.md,
  **/*.json) rather than root-only, so markdown in subdirectories such
  as a future docs/ is covered.
- No `|| true` anywhere, and no --no-error-on-unmatched-pattern: both
  patterns always match tracked files, so an empty match means the glob
  broke and prettier should say so instead of passing vacuously. A
  missing prettier is a hard error naming script/bootstrap, not a
  silent skip.

Pinned prettier:

- package.json/yarn.lock pin prettier 3.9.6; the lockfile carries the
  integrity hash, and --frozen-lockfile enforces it. script/prettier
  prefers node_modules/.bin/prettier and warns on stderr when it has to
  fall back to a PATH prettier of unknown version.
- script/bootstrap now installs node, yarn, and the locked JS deps. Its
  NODE_VERSION and YARN_VERSION pins already existed.

Docker gate:

- The golangci-lint image has no node, so the lint stage runs the new
  script/fmt-check-go (the Go half of fmt-check, extracted) instead of
  the whole thing.
- The markdown half gets its own stage on a digest-pinned node image
  shipping exactly the node and yarn versions bootstrap pins. The
  builder stage takes a COPY --from dependency on it, so BuildKit cannot
  skip it and a markdown violation fails `docker build .` rather than
  being skipped somewhere nobody looks.

Markdown files other than REPO_POLICIES.md are reformatted here for the
first time under the policy settings.

Agent Instructions

Read REPO_POLICIES.md before making any changes. It is the authoritative source for coding standards, formatting, linting, and workflow rules.

Workflow

  • When fixing a bug, write a failing test FIRST. Only after the test fails, write the code to fix the bug. Then ensure the test passes. Leave the test in place and commit it with the bugfix. Don't run shell commands to test bugfixes or reproduce bugs. Write tests!

  • After each change, run make fmt, then make test, then make lint. Fix any failures before committing.

  • After each change, commit only the files you've changed. Push after committing.

Attribution

  • Never mention Claude, Anthropic, or any AI/LLM tooling in commit messages. Do not use attribution.

Repository-Specific Notes

  • This is a Go library + CLI tool for generating .mf manifest files.
  • The proto definition is in mfer/mf.proto; generated .pb.go files are committed (required for go get compatibility).
  • The format specification is in FORMAT.md.
  • See the TODO section in README.md for the 1.0 implementation plan and open design questions.
