fargo 1a822493ba format: apply repo prettier (3.8.1) to the folded skills tree
963 markdown files reformatted with the repository's pinned prettier so
pnpm format:check covers the folded tree like every other repo file.

The formatter's embedded-language pass also normalized code fences
(TS semicolons, closed HTML tags in examples, lowercased CSS hex colors,
one renumbered list that skipped an index). Alphanumeric token deltas vs
the fold commit were audited file-by-file; all are formatter-equivalent
markup normalizations plus the four sanitized skills.

Prevent Waterfall Chains in API Routes

In API routes and Server Actions, start independent operations immediately, even if you don't await them yet.

Incorrect (config waits for auth, data waits for both):

export async function GET(request: Request) {
  const session = await auth();
  const config = await fetchConfig();
  const data = await fetchData(session.user.id);
  return Response.json({ data, config });
}

Correct (auth and config start immediately):

export async function GET(request: Request) {
  const sessionPromise = auth();
  const configPromise = fetchConfig();
  const session = await sessionPromise;
  const [config, data] = await Promise.all([configPromise, fetchData(session.user.id)]);
  return Response.json({ data, config });
}

For operations with more complex dependency chains, use better-all to automatically maximize parallelism (see Dependency-Based Parallelization).
