Set Up Package Scripts

Configure, harden, and structure npm/pnpm package scripts with fail-fast preflight gates, deterministic asset pipelines, and clean lifecycle boundaries.

Directives

1. Fail-Fast Gating: Heavy build commands (build, build:linux, build:win, release) MUST chain lightweight verification steps FIRST (verify:deps, typecheck, lint) before invoking heavy packagers or compilers.
2. Deterministic Script Hierarchy: Group package scripts using standard namespace prefixes (build:*, test:*, verify:*, ensure:*, sync:*, clean:*).
3. Cross-Platform Resilience: Package scripts MUST run identically on Windows (cmd/PowerShell), macOS (zsh), Linux (bash), and CI/Docker environments without machine-specific absolute paths.
4. Zero Silent Failures: Verification scripts MUST exit with code 1 (process.exit(1)) on any unresolved dependency or assertion failure to immediately halt downstream build steps.
5. No Secret Mutation in CI: Verification commands (verify:deps) MUST be read-only auditors. Auto-mutating tools (sync:deps, lint:fix, format) MUST be separated into dedicated commands.
