sneak 35b538e888 Add dev Makefile; format all markdown with prettier
Adds a minimal Makefile wrapping the toolchain the way sneak's other
repos expose it:

- fmt        gofmt -w plus prettier (4-space tabs, proseWrap: always)
- fmt-check  fail if any Go or Markdown file is unformatted
- lint       golangci-lint run ./...
- test       go test ./...
- check      fmt-check + lint + test (the local pre-commit gate)

Running make fmt normalizes the four existing Markdown docs to the
shared prettier style (80-column proseWrap: always, aligned tables) —
a one-time reflow with no content change. The repo remains exempt from
the rest of the policy scaffold (no Dockerfile, CI, or REPO_POLICIES).

# Project Memory
Working notes for agents on this repo. Read this alongside TODO.md (which holds
the step queue and workflow) before starting work.
## Error handling
Panicking on bad/unexpected errors is allowed and preferred over threading
unlikely error returns through game code — e.g. write-side Close/encode failures
where continuing would mean corrupt state. The game already unwinds C's exit()
calls via a gameEnd panic recovered in Run. Return errors where a caller
genuinely handles them (save-file prompts, restore validation). Reserve
deliberate `_ =` discards for true best-effort paths (scorefile writes,
signal-time autosave), always with a comment saying why.
## Linting
The .golangci.yml is the house standard and may only be modified with sneak's
explicit permission. To disable a linter, ask, explaining what the linter does;
he approves specific exceptions, which are recorded in the config's
"Repo-specific exceptions" block with the approval date. Approved so far:
paralleltest (2026-07-06); testpackage, exhaustive, and mnd (2026-07-07). The
complexity linters (cyclop, gocognit, nestif) are enabled and clean as of
refactor step 7 (2026-07-07): the whole golangci-lint run is 0 issues, so keep
it that way — decompose new hot spots rather than reaching for a nolint.
Line-level //nolint with a reason is used sparingly for C-faithfulness (e.g. the
authentic "missle" message spellings) and provably-safe gosec conversions; each
needs a justifying comment.
## Faithfulness
Behavior must not change during the idiomatic-Go refactor unless a TODO step
says so. The 80x24 seed-compatible gameplay, message text (including original
typos), RNG call order, and C quirks (documented in tests like
TestHoldScrollGreedyMonsterQuirk) are contract. Doc comments keep their "(file.c
func_name)" breadcrumbs.
## Debugging
Write real, committed test files with t.Logf output and run plain `go test -v`;
no throwaway scratch scripts. Successful debug probes become regression tests.
