docs: strict dependency allowlist with CI enforcement
STRICT ALLOWLIST policy: Only packages explicitly listed in CONVENTIONS.md
may be imported. No exceptions.

## Changes

- Updates CONVENTIONS.md with strict allowlist language
- Adds scripts/check-deps.sh to enforce the allowlist
- Adds 'make check-deps' and 'make precommit' targets
- CI will fail if any unapproved dependency is detected

## Approved packages

- gopkg.in/yaml.v3 — YAML parsing
- github.com/google/go-cmp — test comparisons

## Process for new dependencies

1. Open a PR that ONLY updates CONVENTIONS.md
2. Requires explicit approval from Aaron
3. After merge, a separate PR may use the package

Error Handling

  • Return errors; never panic.
  • Wrap errors with context using fmt.Errorf("context: %w", err).
  • Check all error returns.

Testing

  • Test every exported function.
  • Use net/http/httptest for HTTP mocking.
  • Table-driven tests where multiple inputs share the same assertion logic.
  • Integration tests use build tags (//go:build integration).

Style

  • Keep functions short and focused.
  • Prefer early returns over deep nesting.
  • Meaningful variable names — no single-letter names outside loop indices.
  • Comments explain why, not what.

Process

  • go test ./... must pass before commit.
  • go vet ./... must pass before commit.
  • Keep commits atomic and well-described.
