chore(ui-tooling): drop the dead turbo globalDependencies marker and three scripts nothing runs (slice 1 of #25920) (#26004)

Part of #25920 — slice 1 of the unwired-tooling cleanup. The card stays
open for the slices listed at the end.

## Summary

Re-measured on `main` 05f7758 (after the objectui merge, so every card
path reads with a `ui/` prefix). Of the 68 `check:*` / `census:*` names
in `ui/package.json`, 28 are run by no root workflow; 13 of those are
still referenced from the inert `ui/.github/workflows` (left to the
`ui/.github` retirement), 1 is run by package build scripts, and the
rest plus the test-only censuses come to about 25,000 lines of script
and test. That is far over one PR, so this slice takes the dead turbo
entry and the three files with no reference at all, at 1,485 changed
lines (+5 / −1,480).

Per item:

- `ui/turbo.objectui.json` `globalDependencies` → **delete the entry.**
It named `node_modules/@objectstack/spec/.spec-main-shape-gate.json`, a
marker only objectstack's spec injection wrote. `@objectstack/spec` is
`workspace:^` in all 33 ui manifests now and nothing in the tree writes
the marker (`git grep spec-main-shape` outside CHANGELOGs: only this
entry, one test fixture path string, and the guide paragraph). The
ci-cd-pipeline guide's "What stays here" bullet, which justified the
entry, is rewritten.
- `ui/scripts/eval-console.mjs` → **delete.** A one-off Playwright probe
that writes to a hard-coded path on one developer's machine. No alias,
no workflow, zero references.
- `ui/scripts/release-bump.cjs` → **delete.** A manual version bumper
the changesets release lane replaced. No alias, no workflow, zero
references.
- `ui/scripts/census-recorder-wait-shape.mjs` + its test +
`fixtures/census-recorder-wait-shape/` → **delete.** A hand-run census
(its header: "answers WHERE TO LOOK, never WHAT IS WRONG"); no alias, no
workflow, nothing names it but its own test.

Nothing is wired in this PR: the triage comment on the card puts any new
gate with the maintainer, so the gate-shaped scripts are listed below
for a ruling instead.

## Verification (head f7fda0f)

- Exact-name `git grep` across the whole tree (AGENTS.md, skills,
.claude, docs, every manifest) for each deleted file and alias: no hits
outside the deleted files themselves. No governed text touched.
- `dispatch-gates --commands` derived 18 families; all 18 run locally,
all exit 0; `--ran` reconciliation: 18 derived, 18 run, 0 NOT MEASURED,
0 UNRUN.
- Inventory readers: `node scripts/check-ci-filter-parity.mjs` exit 0
and `--self-test` exit 0; `node scripts/pm/dispatch-gates.self-test.mjs`
exit 0.
- ui suites that read the turbo config or the scripts inventory (14
files: select-type-check-scope, the five turbo-* input/output pins,
turbo-task-guard-coverage, workspace-root, ci-cd-pipeline-doc,
markdown-test-inputs, check-unreferenced-sources,
package-scripts-vitest-projects, vitest-invocation-guard,
check-dist-completeness): 14 files, 533 tests passed.
- The 50 `pnpm --dir ui run …` gate commands root `ci.yml` runs: 43 exit
0 (`check:spec-symbols`, `check:action-forward-parity`,
`check:designer-field-key-parity` and `type-check:scripts` first ran
before `packages/spec/dist` existed and are green on a re-run after it
was built). The other 7 (`check:doc-examples`, `check:doc-json`,
`check:doc-snippets`, `check:readme-exports`, `check:skill-examples` and
its `--self-test`, `type-check:vitest-setup`) stop on unbuilt
`@object-ui/*` `dist/` (each prints the missing path): NOT MEASURED
locally, CI's Lint UI / Type Check UI lanes own them. None of their
output names a deleted file.
- `check:commit-card-trailers --range origin/main..HEAD` green.
- No changeset: nothing under any package's published `files[]` changes
(ui scripts, the parked turbo config and a guide page).

## Remaining slices (numbers are script + test lines on 05f7758)

Delete candidates — report-only instruments no gate reads:

| Script (alias) | Lines | Note |
|---|---|---|
| `coverage-red-cause-census.mjs` + `coverage-red-cause-suspects.json` |
617 | test-only; one `markdown-test-inputs.mjs` row |
| `extract-mdx-demos.mjs` | 683 | test-only; one-off MDX migration tool
|
| `tsconfig-test-parity-census.mjs` (`census:tsconfig-test-parity`) |
430 | named as the instrument by six test comments, one tsconfig comment
and `ui/docs/audits/2026-09-test-tsconfig-parity-census.md`; those
pointers move with it |
| `page-key-read-census.mjs` (`census:page-key-reads`) | 1,146 | exit 0
by design |
| `dollar-dialect-alias-census.mjs` (`census:dollar-dialect-aliases`) |
1,109 | exit 0 by design |
| `changeset-polarity-census.mjs` (`census:changeset-polarity`) | 3,525
| exit 0 by design; includes fixtures |
| `check-component-surface-parity.mjs`
(`check:component-surface-parity`) | 2,584 | exit 0 always; its header
quotes a director ruling's authority order |
| six unbuilt CLI aliases (`cli`, `objectui`, `doctor`, `studio`,
`generate`, `g`), `start`, `site:start`, `test:unit`, `test:integration`
| ~10 | manifest lines only; `build:all` is already gone |

Gate-shaped (exit 1 on a breach) — wire-or-delete is a maintainer ruling
per the card's triage:

| Script (alias) | Lines |
|---|---|
| `check-lint-rule-coverage.mjs` | 1,814 |
| `check-unused-dependencies.mjs` | 1,099 |
| `check-registry-bare-name-collisions.mjs` | 994 |
| `check-comment-mask-corpus.mjs` + test-only
`check-hand-rolled-comment-mask.mjs` | 1,279 + 715 |
| `check-ui-root-lookups.mjs` | 785 |
| `check-pending-changeset-literals.mjs` | 403 |
| `body-dialect-census.mjs` / `body-dialect-producer-scan.mjs` (ruling
objectui#6771 calls the liveness reading a hard gate; imported by other
scripts) | 1,658 + 1,794 |

Kept: `check:dist-completeness` (run by 14 package `build` scripts);
`cross-file-line-citation-census.mjs` (library of the line-citation
gate). Left to the `ui/.github` retirement (referenced only by
`ui/.github/workflows`): `check:i18n-dead-keys`, `check:node-esm-load`,
`check:published-dist`, `check:eager-closure`,
`check:eager-locale-catalogues`, `check:sdui-registration-pins`,
`check:governed-queue-guard`, `check:merge-queue-head`,
`check:required-check-set`, `check:lockfile-integrity`,
`check:lockfile-dedupe`, `check:changeset-claims`,
`check:new-line-citations`.

Later slice under this dispatch: the mechanical tsconfig dedupe. Not in
this dispatch: the dedupe-wrapper swap (a workflow change), the vite
factory, the UMD condition.

## Acceptance notes

- The ci-cd-pipeline guide's "Spec Shape Gate — moved to objectstack"
section still describes `spec-shape-gate.yml` hourly runs that no longer
exist in this repository; only the bullet this diff falsified is
rewritten here.
