chore: modernize validation feedback loops

[jimeh]

This makes the repository's fast feedback loops explicit and consistent across local development, pre-commit hooks, and CI.

The change:

• upgrades to TypeScript 7 while retaining four authoritative tsc project checks;
• replaces ESLint with native and type-aware Oxlint, and Prettier with Oxfmt;
• adds Stylelint for preview CSS plus matching editor integration;
• installs a staged-files-only Lefthook pre-commit gate with read-only format and lint checks, then conditionally runs type-aware lint, TypeScript checks, unit tests, and Node contracts for the inputs they own; and
• exposes formatting, linting, typechecking, contracts, coverage, package validation, and workflow validation as individually named CI steps.

The hook routing and CI task mappings are contract-tested, including ignored formatter inputs and configuration, dependency, source, CSS, and test changes.

Testing

• mise run verify — full package, workflow, desktop floor/stable, and web stable validation on the initial implementation
• mise run check — formatting, linting, four TypeScript projects, 28 Node contracts, and 60 unit tests with coverage after review corrections
• focused Lefthook routing checks for ignored files, tool configs, dependency inputs, TypeScript/Vitest/contract sources, CSS, and TOML
• independent Codex and Claude review on final head 8dfb776, with no substantive findings remaining

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Quality Improvements

  • Expanded automated validation for formatting, linting, typechecking, tests, package contents, and workflow configuration.
  • Added staged-file checks for code, styles, Markdown, and configuration before commits.
  • Improved link validation and CSS quality checks.

• Developer Experience

  • Standardized formatting and linting across supported project files.
  • Added dedicated commands for code, type, CSS, and Markdown checks.
  • Updated setup and diagnostic commands to install hooks and report tool versions.

• Documentation

  • Updated development and testing guidance for the new quality-check workflow.

Walkthrough

The repository replaces ESLint and Prettier with Oxfmt, Oxlint, and Stylelint. It adds Lefthook pre-commit checks, separates CI validation commands, updates editor settings and documentation, and expands tests for the new tooling.

Changes

Quality tooling migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Toolchain configuration .oxfmtrc.json, .oxlintrc.json, stylelint.config.mjs, package.json, tsconfig.tooling.json, .vscode/*, AGENTS.md, README.md, media/preview.css, src/markdown/compose.test.ts	Development scripts and dependencies now use Oxfmt, Oxlint, and Stylelint. Editor settings, tooling scope, documentation, and affected tests reflect the new tools.
Local validation workflow mise.toml, lefthook.yml, pnpm-workspace.yaml, test/harness.test.mts, docs/testing.md	Mise installs Lefthook and exposes separate lint tasks. Lefthook runs staged-file formatting, linting, type checking, and tests. Harness tests validate commands, exclusions, and routing.
CI validation gates .github/workflows/ci.yml, test/workflows.test.mts, docs/testing.md	The CI validation job runs separate formatting, linting, typechecking, contract, coverage, package, and workflow checks. Tests verify the workflow mappings and documentation describes the updated gates.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 818a1

The PR changes local validation and editor behavior, but nested staged files can bypass intended Lefthook checks and editor save actions do not activate the configured type-aware lint rules. This can allow invalid changes to miss expected feedback, so merge should wait for the routing issue to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

In @.vscode/settings.shared.json:
- Around line 4-6: Add the "oxc.typeAware": true setting alongside the existing
editor.codeActionsOnSave configuration so Oxlint uses type-aware rules in the
editor and matches lint:types.

In `@lefthook.yml`:
- Around line 4-52: The Lefthook glob patterns in the formatting, linting,
type-aware lint, and typecheck commands only match root-level files because *
does not cross directory separators. Update these hooks to cover both root and
nested paths, using separate root/recursive patterns or doublestar matching, and
add nested-file routing assertions in test/harness.test.mts.
