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.

useEffectEvent for Stable Callback Refs

Access latest values in callbacks without adding them to dependency arrays. Prevents effect re-runs while avoiding stale closures.

Incorrect (effect re-runs on every callback change):

function SearchInput({ onSearch }: { onSearch: (q: string) => void }) {
  const [query, setQuery] = useState('');

  useEffect(() => {
    const timeout = setTimeout(() => onSearch(query), 300);
    return () => clearTimeout(timeout);
  }, [query, onSearch]);
}

Correct (using React's useEffectEvent):

import { useEffectEvent } from 'react';

function SearchInput({ onSearch }: { onSearch: (q: string) => void }) {
  const [query, setQuery] = useState('');
  const onSearchEvent = useEffectEvent(onSearch);

  useEffect(() => {
    const timeout = setTimeout(() => onSearchEvent(query), 300);
    return () => clearTimeout(timeout);
  }, [query]);
}
