Make lint and test phases of the Dockerfile (closes #96)
check / check (push) Successful in 33s

Follows the template: Dockerfile.lint is gone; the Dockerfile has a lint
phase (eslint, prettier --check .) and a test phase (vitest, run as the
node user so the not-writable-directory tests are not skipped), and its
last stage compiles and depends on both. script/lint and script/test
build one phase each with --no-cache; script/docker and script/cibuild
pass --no-cache, so CHECK_EPOCH and LINT_EPOCH are removed.
script/cibuild is the single image build, so CI runs lint and the tests
once each. The tests that checked the old layout are deleted,
REPO_POLICIES.md is re-copied and the README describes the new layout.

### Linting
### Linting and testing
Linting runs in a container, one way, everywhere. `script/lint` builds
`Dockerfile.lint`, which copies the repo into a digest-pinned node image and
runs eslint and prettier as build steps, so a successful build is a clean lint.
There is no host lint path: docker is required to lint, and that also works
where the docker daemon is remote and bind mounts are impossible.
Linting and testing are phases of the `Dockerfile`. The `lint` phase copies the
repo into a digest-pinned node image and runs eslint and `prettier --check .`;
the `test` phase does the same with the suite. `script/lint` and `script/test`
each build one phase with `docker build --no-cache --target <phase>`. There is
no host lint or test path: docker is required, and that also works where the
docker daemon is remote and bind mounts are impossible.
The formatting check is part of that, not a step beside it. `script/check` and
`script/precommit` therefore call `script/lint` and stop; neither calls
`script/fmt-check` as well, which would run prettier a second time over the same
tree for the same verdict — and the weaker of the two, since the host's prettier
is whatever the working tree has installed. So `make check` and the pre-commit
hook both still fail on a badly formatted tree, and prettier runs exactly once
in each. `test/packaging/lint-once.test.ts` asserts that count by walking the
invocation graph, so a second pass cannot creep back in unnoticed.
The last stage of the `Dockerfile` compiles the package, and it copies a file
from each phase, so it cannot be built unless lint and the tests pass. That is
why `script/cibuild` is a single `docker build`: it runs lint and the tests once
each and then compiles.
Every `docker build` in `script/` passes `--no-cache`. On an unchanged tree
Docker would otherwise serve the lint and test steps from cache, nothing would
run, and the build would still exit 0.
The formatting check is part of the `lint` phase, not a step beside it, so
`script/check` and `script/precommit` do not call `script/fmt-check` as well;
that would run prettier a second time over the same tree for the same verdict.
`script/fmt-check` remains as a standalone entrypoint for asking the formatting
question on its own, without docker and without the rest of lint. Its verdict
cannot drift from the container's: prettier is pinned to an exact version,
installed from `yarn.lock` under `--frozen-lockfile` in both places, and reads
`.gitignore` as its default ignore file — which is why `.dockerignore`
deliberately keeps `.gitignore` in the build context.
Lint happens in exactly one place, which constrains the rest of the build.
`script/check` calls `script/lint`, so `make check` cannot run inside a
container without asking for docker inside docker. The image built from
`Dockerfile` therefore runs `make test` and `make build` and does not lint;
`script/cibuild` builds `Dockerfile.lint` first and that image second, so CI
gets both verdicts.
### Build epochs
`script/lint` passes `--build-arg LINT_EPOCH="$(date +%s)"`, and `script/docker`
and `script/cibuild` pass `--build-arg CHECK_EPOCH="$(date +%s)"`. Both
Dockerfiles refuse to build without their argument. This is deliberate: on an
unchanged tree Docker would otherwise serve the linter and test layers from
cache, so nothing would run and the build would still exit 0 — a lint build over
an untouched tree returns success in well under a second, having linted nothing.
A changing epoch invalidates every layer below the guard on every invocation
while leaving the dependency layers above them cached, and the missing-argument
guard means a bare `docker build .` fails loudly instead of quietly reporting a
green it did not earn: an unset build argument is the empty string, which is a
perfectly stable cache key.
question on the host. Its verdict matches the container's: prettier is pinned to
an exact version, installed from `yarn.lock` under `--frozen-lockfile` in both
places, and reads `.gitignore` as its default ignore file — which is why
`.dockerignore` keeps `.gitignore` in the build context.
