Payload slimming, pre-signing half: the asar stops shipping the world

sorokin.oleg.edu/learnharness

The measured problem (330MB DMG / 1066MB app): electron-builder's
dependency collector packed the whole production dep tree into
app.asar (502MB) regardless of the files allow-list, because
normalizeFiles turns the array into one {filter} fileSet whose
entries ALL feed the per-dep copier (its implicit '**/*' passing
everything), and unpacked the native rungs into a 150MB
app.asar.unpacked. The launcher needs nothing but electron + node
builtins — the server ships via extraResources.

The fix (electron-builder.yml files): gitignore-style negation
ordering — '!**/*' first excludes everything, then only
electron/** and package.json re-include. The same list reaches the
per-dep filter, where app-builder-lib's destination-path quirk
(stat.moduleFullFilePath in util/filter.js) means no dep file can
ever re-include: all 566 modules collect zero files (DEBUG-mode
verified). Locale trim rides along (mac.electronLanguages: en).

Result on a fresh desktop:dist: app.asar 502MB -> 16KB (shell only:
electron/main.cjs, preload.cjs, package.json), app.asar.unpacked
gone, Frameworks 288MB -> 239MB, app 1066MB -> 367MB, DMG 330MB ->
144MB. Resources/server curation untouched (127MB, sharp native +
pdfjs traced and verified live).

Live verification against the packaged app: server spawn via
ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE on its kernel-assigned port, model slots via
PUT /api/settings/models, chat round-trip streaming an exact echo,
read tool on a PDF through the pdfjs path (exact text extracted),
image attach through the vision slot, GET /api/graph snapshot and
render-settings.

Docs full-accuracy pass (owner-approved scope): README +
docs/architecture.md swept of the dead embeddings / graph-context
injection / cluster-namer / semantic-clusters story (wave-7
casualties), MODELS/config roster rewritten to the BYOK slot
chain, EXTRACTION.chunkTokens -> graph.extractionChunkTokens,
route count 16 -> 25, steer_ctx_ dropped, seam table re-pointed at
the prober graph tools; docs/research/stt.md:50's "we already ship
transformers.js" premise corrected; config.ts orphaned EXTRACTION
doc block (left over from eed4b4e) deleted.

Note for master: npm prune still owed in the master tree (~690MB
stale @huggingface/onnxruntime trees absent from the lockfile);
worktree tree is clean and verified.
