Isolate the lint cache and context-gate the native path (closes #99)
Closes #80.

script/lint pointed GOLANGCI_LINT_CACHE at a path shared by every
worktree of this repo. Two worktrees have identical Go file contents, so
their cache keys collided and one tree's stored findings replayed for
another, paths included - observed as 231 findings all citing another
session's worktree, with no parallel-runner message to signal it. The
failure is symmetric and only one direction is loud: a clean tree failed
by a dirty sibling gets investigated, a dirty tree passed by a clean
sibling does not.

The cache is now keyed per worktree on a digest of $ROOT, and remains
persistent. Independently of that, script/lint-audit inspects every run's
output and fails the run if any finding cites a path outside the tree
being linted. That guard is the load-bearing part: it converts a silent
unearned green into a hard error regardless of how the cache is keyed. It
is deliberately built so it can never certify a pass, only reject, so it
cannot itself become a gate that reports green.

The native path was gated on version equality alone, which admitted a
locally installed matching binary and bypassed the digest pin. It now
requires VAULTIK_LINT_IN_CONTAINER=1, set only by the Dockerfile lint
stage, in addition to version equality. /.dockerenv was rejected as the
signal because dockerd creates it for `docker run` but not reliably
during a BuildKit `docker build`, which is the case the exception exists
for. A version mismatch inside the container is now a hard error rather
than a fall-through.

This mattered more than the issue supposed: on this host a matching
golangci-lint exists on PATH, so script/lint was taking the native path
and linting against the global cache without ever running the pinned
image. That is the likely root of the observed contamination, and it is
closed here rather than mitigated.

The parallel-runner error is retried rather than reported. It is not a
lint result, and surfacing it as a non-zero exit is indistinguishable to
a caller from real findings; exhausted retries fail saying the tree was
never analysed. Note that a private cache alone does not remove lock
contention - measured with two concurrent runs using separate cache
directories.

script/bootstrap no longer reports success on a machine that cannot run
the gate: docker is now required by lint, check and precommit, so a
missing binary or unreachable daemon is a hard failure naming what will
not work.

# script/lint: run the linter.
#
# The linter always runs at the version pinned by the Dockerfile's lint
# stage, so a local run and a CI run of the same tree cannot disagree.
# That FROM line (image tag plus digest) is the single source of truth
# for the linter version in this repo: bump it there and nothing else
# needs editing.
#
# Normally that means running the pinned image with docker. The one
# exception is running INSIDE that image: the Dockerfile's lint stage
# runs `make lint`, and there is no docker daemon in there. That stage
# sets VAULTIK_LINT_IN_CONTAINER=1, and only when that variable is set
# is a golangci-lint on PATH used directly - and then only if its
# version is exactly the pin. Version equality alone is deliberately NOT
# enough: it also matches a developer's locally installed copy of the
# same version, which is a different build with a different Go
# toolchain, reached by a different code path, and it would bypass the
# digest pin this script exists to enforce. /.dockerenv was considered
# as the context signal and rejected: dockerd creates it for `docker
# run`, but it is not reliably present during a BuildKit `docker build`,
# which is exactly the case the exception exists for.
#
# The linter's output is checked before it is believed: every run is
# audited by script/lint-audit for findings that cannot belong to this
# tree, and a run refused by golangci-lint's cross-process lock is
# retried rather than reported as a verdict. See the lock-retry loop in
# main and the header of script/lint-audit.
#
# Extra arguments are passed through to `golangci-lint run`, before
# `./...` (see script/lint-fix).
