feat: add local Console and connect suite review workflows

[Steel-tech]

Summary

Operators can now review selected repositories, tool compatibility, saved plugin observations, browser QA and GitHub CI evidence in a local read-only Console. The public website explains the complete Console → browser QA → draft-PR workflow and pins Browser 0.8.0 and Swarm 0.4.0 to exact source commits.

The Console runs from this checkout with Node 20+ and no package dependencies: npm run console -- --demo, or npm run console -- --config /private/console.json. It serves on IPv4 loopback only. Configured projects and observation files are explicit; HTTP cannot select arbitrary paths or execute operations. Existing plugin commands remain responsible for mutations and approvals. Copy controls only copy commands.

Saved observations show timestamps and clean-HEAD freshness. Malformed, foreign or contradictory success evidence is unavailable; missing checks are not treated as passing. Raw Guard commands and browser diagnostics stay out of the Console, and private artifacts are not served or committed. Source-version compatibility does not prove installation or real model integration.

Dependencies: merge StructuPath/herdr-browser#10 and StructuPath/herdr-swarm#14 before publishing the updated feature guides. This PR updates six generated guides, navigation, landing content, README, llms.txt, source pins and repeatable website/Console QA scenarios. GitHub Pages configuration is unchanged.

Validation

• Console: 10 real-Git, file-boundary, report-contract, CLI and HTTP tests pass on Node 20, 24 and 26; build syntax checks pass.
• Final clean source 090f93b8830ef308e00b1aa7fcad9996bf95e2ee: new Browser QA runner passed desktop/mobile Console scenario (10 assertions) and website scenario (16 assertions), with zero console/page/request errors, unchanged clean Git identity and successful session cleanup.
• Actual reports accepted by both the Console and Swarm handoff consumers. Console demo exercises synthetic observations; separate real-Git tests and a five-repository local run verify project reads. QA does not authenticate that a server was built from the recorded commit.
• Desktop 1440px and mobile 390px: no horizontal overflow; filtering and command copy work. Mobile Console accessibility audit: zero violations.
• Generated documentation freshness, checker self-tests, Python compilation, exact source-manifest digests/versions/actions and whitespace checks pass.
• Independent agent review found and resolved contradictory QA acceptance, GitHub URL casing, untracked-directory file counts and zero-check pass handling. No outstanding actionable findings. Review used bounded, reused agent contexts; it is not a human attestation.

Post-Deploy Monitoring & Validation

On the first local launch, the maintainer should check the terminal startup address, /api/snapshot responses and the configured project cards. Healthy behavior is a 200 snapshot, correct repository identity and explicit unavailable/stale states for absent or old evidence. Investigate repeated 503 responses or unexpected unavailable projects; stop the local server and return to the prior checkout if reads regress. The existing plugins are not mutated by Console reads.

After merging the site, verify the GitHub Pages build commit and /docs/console/, /docs/browser/, /docs/swarm/ and /llms.txt. No private configuration, reports, screenshots or tokens are included in this PR.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Document Git 2.36+ as a Console requirement.

console/model.mjs uses git worktree list --porcelain -z, which requires Git 2.36 or newer. Older Git can make inspectGit fail and show the generic configured-path error. Update console/README.md to state this minimum. The Console already reports the Git version in its Environment section, so no additional version-reporting change is needed.

🤖 Lab Code Review (draft opinion)

console/model.mjs:124 - The SHA regex allows 40 or 64 hex characters, but Git SHAs are 40 hex; 64 is unnecessary and could accept non-Git values. Fix: change SHA to /^[a-f0-9]{40}$/.
console/model.mjs:150 - The command function uses execFile with a 5-second timeout and maxBuffer of 2 MiB, but does not stderr; errors in Git commands could be silently ignored. Fix: capture stderr and include it in thrown errors for debugging.
console/model.mjs:214 - The parseQA function throws on contradictory reports but does not validate that artifact filenames are strings; non-string artifacts could cause runtime issues. Fix: add typeof artifact === 'string' check in artifactCount reduction.
console/server.mjs:45 - The CSP includes 'frame-ancestors 'none'' but the Console is a local tool; this is overly restrictive and not needed for a read-only local app. Fix: remove frame-ancestors directive or set to 'self' if embedding is ever intended, but given local-only use, consider removing.
console/server.mjs:78 - The server caches snapshots for 5 seconds, but if getSnapshot throws repeatedly, pending remains set and blocks future requests. Fix: reset pending in catch block to allow retries.
