Fetch Alpine.js at build time under a verified hash (closes #145)
All checks were successful
check / check (push) Successful in 3m29s

static/js/alpine.min.js was a committed minified bundle: unreviewable,
referenced by no hash, and forbidden by REPO_POLICIES.md on both counts.

It is now fetched by script/fetch-assets from a pinned npm registry
tarball, with the tarball sha256 and the extracted file's sha256 both
hardcoded and checked before anything is installed. The hash of every
installed asset lives in static/vendor.sha256, and static/vendor_test.go
re-hashes the bytes go:embed actually put in the binary against that
manifest, so the pin is enforced on what ships rather than merely
recorded. .gitignore keeps the artifact out of the repo and
.dockerignore keeps a host copy out of the build context, so the image
can only get it by fetching and verifying it.

Alpine 3.14.9 is byte-identical to the blob that was committed
(3ed1eed252488921df65e363d6715deb04d7f92aaedb9e52199fdf73cb1e0ad3), so
the served asset does not change; internal/server/static_assets_test.go
fetches every /s/ script base.html loads through the real router to
prove the page still gets it.

## Third-party browser assets
The web UI serves one third-party script, Alpine.js. It is **not** committed:
a minified bundle in the tree is unreviewable, and `REPO_POLICIES.md` bars
both committed build artifacts and unpinned external references.
Instead `script/fetch-assets` downloads it from a pinned URL, checks the
download against a hardcoded sha256, and installs it under `static/`. The
sha256 of every installed asset is recorded in `static/vendor.sha256`, and
`static/vendor_test.go` re-hashes the bytes `go:embed` put in the binary
against that manifest — so the pin is enforced on what actually ships, not
merely written down. Any mismatch fails the build.
`make bootstrap` runs the fetch for local development, and the Dockerfile
runs it in the build stage; `.gitignore` and `.dockerignore` keep the
artifact out of both the repo and the build context.
To move to a new version: update the version, URL, and tarball sha256 in
`script/fetch-assets` and the asset sha256 in `static/vendor.sha256`, then
run `make assets && make check`.
## Rationale
Webhook integrations between services are inherently fragile. The
