feat: LOC reframe tooling — throughput comparison + README updater + scc installer

Three new scripts:

- scripts/garry-output-comparison.ts — enumerates Garry-authored commits
  in 2013 + 2026 on public repos, extracts ADDED lines from git diff,
  classifies as logical SLOC via scc --stdin (regex fallback if scc
  missing). Writes docs/throughput-2013-vs-2026.json with per-language
  breakdown + explicit caveats (public repos only, commit-style drift,
  private-work exclusion).

- scripts/update-readme-throughput.ts — reads the JSON if present,
  replaces the README's <!-- GSTACK-THROUGHPUT-PLACEHOLDER --> anchor
  with the computed multiple (preserving the anchor for future runs).
  If JSON missing, writes GSTACK-THROUGHPUT-PENDING marker that CI
  rejects — forcing the build to run before commit.

- scripts/setup-scc.sh — standalone OS-detecting installer for scc.
  Not a package.json dependency (95% of users never run throughput).
  Brew on macOS, apt on Linux, GitHub releases link on Windows.

Two-string anchor pattern (PLACEHOLDER vs PENDING) prevents the
pipeline from destroying its own update path.

/**
* Garry's 2013 vs 2026 output throughput comparison.
*
* Rationale: the README hero used to brag "600,000+ lines of production code" as
* a proxy for productivity. After Louise de Sadeleer's review
* (https://x.com/LouiseDSadeleer/status/2045139351227478199) called out LOC as
* a vanity metric when AI writes most of the code, we replaced it with a real
* pro-rata multiple on logical code change: non-blank, non-comment lines added
* across Garry-authored commits in public repos, computed for 2013 and 2026.
*
* Algorithm (per Codex Pass 2 review in PLAN_TUNING_V1):
* 1. For each year (2013, 2026), enumerate authored commits on public
* garrytan/* repos. Email filter: garry@ycombinator.com + known aliases.
* 2. For each commit, git diff <commit>^ <commit> produces a unified diff.
* 3. Extract ADDED lines from the diff. Classify as "logical" by filtering
* out blank lines + single-line comments (per-language regex; imperfect
* but honest — better than raw LOC).
* 4. Sum per year. Report raw additions + logical additions + per-language
* breakdown + caveats. Caveats matter: public repos only, commit-style drift,
* private work exclusion.
*
* Requires: scc (for classification when available; falls back to regex).
* Run: bun run scripts/garry-output-comparison.ts [--repo-root <path>]
* Output: docs/throughput-2013-vs-2026.json
