mikkeli 3acab7bf7e feat: check descriptions and Rust type names for branding drift
The checker covered the identity strings a host sees, but not two other
kinds of template residue.

Descriptions: `Cargo.toml`'s `description` and `CLAP_DESCRIPTION` both
shipped as placeholders, and the latter surfaces in some host browsers.

Type names: `MyPlugin` and `PluginParams` appear at nine sites between
the struct definitions, the three trait impls, the two export macros and
the params field. Missing one is a compile error rather than silent drift,
so this is a convenience rather than a safety net - but naming the site
beats reading rustc, and the `Vst3Plugin` impl sits behind a cfg, so a
default build never reports it at all. Renaming the types is optional:
leave the canonical values alone and the checks stay green.

TODO markers are reported at a new informational level that never counts
toward pass/fail. They are legitimate while building, so failing on them
would just train you to ignore the run - but a finished plugin should not
quietly ship with five of them.

Two bugs surfaced while testing this:

- The stale scan drew its file list from `git ls-files`, which returns
  nothing outside a checkout. In an exported tarball every stale spelling
  was therefore reported absent - the section passed hardest exactly when
  it could see least. It now falls back to `find` and says which source
  it used.
- `grep -c` prints 0 and exits 1 when there are no matches, so the TODO
  count's `|| echo 0` appended a second zero and produced an unparseable
  value once a rename removed the last TODO.

# check-branding.sh - verify the plugin's branding/identity strings agree everywhere.
#
# Plugin branding is duplicated across the build manifest, the bundler manifest,
# the source, the docs and (once you add one) the deploy script. Nothing makes
# them agree, so a rename drifts silently: the bundle builds under one name and
# the deploy script looks for another. This asserts they match, and that the
# identity constants are legal.
#
# In a template this matters more than usual: renaming is the first thing you do
# with this repo, and it touches every file below. Run this immediately after,
# and the STALE machinery will list whatever you missed.
#
# Usage: sh check-branding.sh (exit 0 = consistent, 1 = drift found)
#
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# CANONICAL IDENTITY - the single source of truth. Edit these to rename, then
# run this script; every failure it prints is a place still holding the old name.
