 rebuilds

Ensure dist/cli.js exists before each smoke invocation so parallel
vitest files (e.g. cli.test.ts beforeAll build) cannot delete the
binary mid-suite and cause flaky MODULE_NOT_FOUND failures.

Subject: [PATCH 06/10] test(cli): extend smoke coverage for JSON check and
 shell completions

Assert check --json returns a clean drift report on the fixture scaffold
(context/ and patterns/ frontmatter included) and cover zsh/fish completion
scripts alongside bash.

Subject: [PATCH 07/10] fix(test): harden CLI smoke harness against missing
 dist/cli.js

Assert dist/cli.js exists after npm run build in beforeAll and ensureCliBuilt
so smoke tests fail fast with a clear error instead of opaque spawn failures.
Removes accidental corrupted internal/exporter/mkdocs.go from a prior commit.

Subject: [PATCH 08/10] test(cli): verify dist/cli.js via vitest globalSetup
 before suite

Run npm run build and assert the CLI artifact exists in a global setup hook
so smoke and integration tests fail fast when the build step is skipped or
broken, addressing peer-review feedback on build verification.

Set MEX_TELEMETRY=0 when spawning the CLI in smoke tests so temp-dir
runs never emit telemetry even if vitest env inheritance changes.
