+/**
+ * copy-prompts.js
+ *
+ * Copies Markdown prompt files from src/prompts/ → dist/prompts/.
+ * Run as part of the build pipeline after `tsc`.
+ *
+ * Why this exists:
+ *   TypeScript's compiler only emits .js/.d.ts files — it ignores .md assets.
+ *   PromptLoader resolves prompts from dist/prompts/ at runtime, so we must
+ *   mirror the src/prompts/ tree into dist/ after every build.
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *   node scripts/copy-prompts.js
