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.

Pausable watch

::: info This function will be removed in future version. :::

::: tip

Pausable Watcher has been added to Vue since 3.5, use const { stop, pause, resume } = watch(watchSource, callback) instead.

:::

Usage

Use as normal the watch, but return extra pause() and resume() functions to control.

import { watchPausable } from '@vueuse/core';
import { nextTick, shallowRef } from 'vue';

const source = shallowRef('foo');

const { stop, pause, resume } = watchPausable(source, (v) => console.log(`Changed to ${v}!`));

source.value = 'bar';
await nextTick(); // Changed to bar!

pause();

source.value = 'foobar';
await nextTick(); // (nothing happend)

resume();

source.value = 'hello';
await nextTick(); // Changed to hello!
