test: cover the developer-environment contract (tests/dev-environment.test.mjs)

[hivecommons-hive]

Test Improvement

Adds one new test-only file, tests/dev-environment.test.mjs (8 tests). It is
the first test in this repository to read the Justfile,
.devcontainer/devcontainer.json, or the commands inside a fenced block in the
developer docs.

Files claimed by this PR: tests/dev-environment.test.mjs (new). Nothing
else — no production code, no workflow, no package.json, no lockfile, no new
dependency. It uses node:test, node:assert/strict, node:fs, node:path
and the yaml devDependency the repo already declares.

The gap

README.md:40 and CONTRIBUTING.md:15 document the devcontainer as a
supported way to run this site, and CONTRIBUTING.md:8 states the Node
prerequisite. Those claims point at .devcontainer/devcontainer.json, which
pins its own Node major, forwarded port and postCreateCommand — checked
against nothing. The Justfile has 7 npm run targets with no gate, and the
three developer docs another 15.

Rename a package.json script and just build, the README quickstart and the
CONTRIBUTING setup block all become instructions that fail on first
copy-paste, while every CI check stays green. Bump NODE_VERSION in the
workflows and the devcontainer silently keeps building on the old major.

What the 8 assertions cover

1. The Justfile parses into recipes and none has an empty body.
2. Every npm run <name> in a Justfile recipe is a defined package.json script.
3. devcontainer.json parses (as JSON-with-comments) and pins an image and a containerUser.
4. Every npm run <name> in a devcontainer lifecycle command is a defined script.
5. forwardPorts contains the port just serve actually opens.
6. Every npm run <name> in README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, AGENTS.md is a defined script.
7. The devcontainer Node major equals the major every workflow pins (NODE_VERSION and literal node-version).
8. The Node prerequisite stated in the developer docs equals that same major.

Verification

• node --test tests/dev-environment.test.mjs — 8/8 pass at 00b44df.
• Full suite npm run test:unit: 61/61 (55 before, +6 at the time of the first
  run, +8 now).
• Mutation-checked, not just run green. Each of the 8 assertions was
  confirmed to fail on injected drift: a bad npm run target in the Justfile,
  in postCreateCommand, and in README.md; forwardPorts: [4000]; the
  devcontainer node feature at 20; a deleted containerUser; an empty
  serve recipe; and Node.js 20+ in CONTRIBUTING.md. Working tree restored
  after every mutation (git status clean).
• npx prettier --check clean.

Disjointness

• test: cover the package.json script and CI command wiring contract #278 (tests/workflow-scripts.test.mjs) scopes itself to package.json
  <-> scripts/ <-> linter dotfiles <-> npm run steps in
  .github/workflows. Its diff contains no Justfile, .devcontainer,
  README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md or AGENTS.md match, and no Node-version
  assertion.
• test: assert CI action pinning and token-permission contract (tests/ci-supply-chain.test.mjs) #301 covers action SHA pinning and permissions:; this reads workflows
  only for node-version / NODE_VERSION.
• test: cover root-level *.md relative link and anchor integrity (tests/root-docs-links.test.mjs) #309 covers relative links and anchors in root *.md; this reads the
  shell commands inside fenced blocks.
• No open PR touches Justfile or .devcontainer/.

Important

Held for human review by the hive's ACMM level gate.

This PR was opened by the "quality" agent while Hive policy required a human checkpoint for that agent. Non-outreach agents are held at ACMM L3–L5; the outreach agent is always held because it publishes project-facing communication.

Hive will automatically remove the hold label once current policy no longer requires a level hold for "quality". If this is an outreach PR, a human must review it and remove the label.
