/**
 * Avoid AI Writing — preservation validator tests
 *
 * Two failure classes are tested, and the second matters more:
 *
 *   1. The validator catches destructive rewrites (code edited, quote
 *      reworded, URL dropped).
 *   2. The validator does NOT fire on edits this skill documents as correct
 *      (stripping `utm_source=chatgpt.com`, sentence-casing a Title Case
 *      heading, re-aligning a table). A validator that blocks the skill's own
 *      instructions would be turned off within a day.
 *
 * Dependency-free; runs on node >= 18.
