fix(seo,geo): C1a — find sees build output, grep does not; the two disagreed

Surfaced by dogfooding on a real Astro repo instead of reading the spec.

Claude Code installs a shell function routing `grep` to ugrep with
`--ignore-files`, so grep honours .gitignore and never descends into a
gitignored dist/. `find` honours nothing. seo-analyzer uses both.

Measured on zenquality (Astro, dist/ gitignored but built locally),
seo-analyzer.md:497 returned 92 images, 45 of them under dist/ — every asset
listed twice, source and generated copy, byte-identical. Two live
consequences:
- "top 20 by size" was ~10 real images dressed as 20.
- Batch C (`cwebp -q 80 <img> -o <img>.webp`) could target dist/og-image.png;
  the .webp lands in dist/ and the `npm run build` the dispatcher runs to
  VERIFY the fix erases it. Fix lands, verification passes, nothing survives,
  report says applied.

lib/source-scope.sh separates source from build output, framework-aware.
`public/` is deliberately NOT excluded by default: it is Astro/Vite/Next
SOURCE and holds favicon.ico, apple-touch-icon.png and robots.txt — the very
files STEP 4 curls. It is build output only for Hugo/Gatsby, detected from
config (legacy config.toml alone is ambiguous, so it needs archetypes/ too).
Blanket-excluding it would blind the audit to its own resource checks.

findargs emits one token per line and MUST be consumed via a quoted array.
I shipped a flat-string version first and the dogfood caught it: the shell
globs */dist/* against the CWD and passes the matches to find as search
paths, which turned 90 hits into 135 and kept every dist/ file. Both the
header and a functional test now pin that.

Also: no bundle item may target build output, in either agent. That is the
real safety net — even if some future find leaks a dist path, the fix cannot
land there. Fix the source that generates the artifact; if the source cannot
be found, that is a finding, not a reason to patch the artifact.

SCOPE CORRECTION: the proposal claimed grep was auditing 86 generated files
instead of 9 templates. That was FALSE — the ugrep shim already skips them.
Killed my own premise before coding it; the real bug is narrower and lives in
find only. Do NOT "fix" the grep lines to match: they are already correct,
and adding these exclusions there would drop public/.

Verified: 90 -> 45 images on the real repo, 0 dist survivors, public/
preserved (favicon.ico still visible); 34 new assertions PASS / 0 FAIL; full
suite green; shellcheck clean. Test file addition used the documented
one-shot config-edit sentinel.

**Why the guard, and why `find` specifically (C1a).** `grep` and `find`
disagree about this repo and you use both. Claude Code routes `grep` through
ugrep with `--ignore-files`, so it honours `.gitignore` and never descends
into a gitignored `dist/`. `find` honours nothing. Measured on a real Astro
repo: this command returned **92 images, 45 of them under `dist/`** — every
asset twice, source and generated copy, byte-identical. So "top 20 by size"
was ~10 real images dressed as 20, and a batch-C item
(`cwebp -q 80 <img> -o <img>.webp`) could target `dist/og-image.png`, whose
`.webp` the dispatcher's own `npm run build` then erases. The fix lands,
verification passes, nothing survives.
`FEXCL` MUST be consumed as a quoted array. `find . $FEXCL …` lets the shell
glob `*/dist/*` against the CWD and hand the matches to find as search paths
— that made the same run return 135 hits and kept every `dist/` file.
Do NOT add these exclusions to the `grep` lines: the shim already covers
them, `public/` is deliberately kept (it is Astro/Vite/Next SOURCE and holds
`favicon.ico`, `apple-touch-icon.png`, `robots.txt` — the very files STEP 4
curls), and it is build output only for Hugo/Gatsby, which the script
detects.
