+ * Build-time generator for `src/data/transcript-inheritance.json`.
+ *
+ * Community meetings have TWO pages each: a landing/watch page
+ * (`<date>-community-meeting.mdx`) and a transcript page
+ * (`<date>-community-meeting-transcript.mdx`). The landing page's
+ * frontmatter carries `about:` + `mentions:` entity references from the
+ * M12 dictionary; the transcript page covers the same content but its
+ * frontmatter typically does not repeat those refs. Without inheritance,
+ * the transcript's Article JSON-LD lacks the entity graph and trips the
+ * M10 validator's `no about or mentions` warning.
+ *
+ * This script reads every landing page's frontmatter and emits a single
+ * JSON map keyed by the transcript permalink (derived deterministically
+ * from the landing slug). `video-seo.tsx` imports the map at module
+ * load and applies the inherited refs when rendering a transcript page
+ * whose own frontmatter doesn't carry them.
+ *
+ * Idempotent. Safe to run before every build (it's wired into
+ * package.json's `prebuild` script).
