Claude 93ee14d530 refactor: move the seed tool under Server/cmd/seed (RL-10)
`Server/scripts/seed.go` was a `package main` sitting directly in
`Server/scripts/`, which made `Server/scripts` itself one of the module's
three main packages — a developer tool in the module's build graph under a
directory name that says "loose scripts". It also did filesystem work in
`func init()`: `os.MkdirAll("data", 0o750)` ran before `flag.Parse()`, so the
directory appeared even when the tool immediately refused to run.

The audit row (RL-10) claims that `init()` fires "during test discovery". It
does not, and the obvious fix aimed at that claim would be aimed at nothing:
`Server/scripts/` contains zero `_test.go` files, so Go never builds a test
binary there and `go test ./...` never runs the `init()`. The residual defect
is narrower and real — an untagged `package main` in the build graph, plus a
side effect on a path (`go run ./cmd/seed -h`) that has nothing to do with
tests.

Done:
- `Server/scripts/seed.go` -> `Server/cmd/seed/main.go`, joining
  `cmd/genprotocol/` from RL-09. `Server/scripts/` now holds shell and JS
  tooling only (docker-smoke.sh, k6/, toxiproxy/, voice-test.sh) and no Go
  entry point at all.
- The `os.MkdirAll` moved out of `init()` to immediately before `db.Open` in
  `main()` — the one call that needs the directory, since `db.Open` ->
  `OpenWithMaxReaders` -> `openFile` creates no intermediate directories.
- The package doc comment's usage lines were wrong in two ways, not one: they
  named `go run scripts/seed.go`, which no longer exists, and they omitted
  the mandatory `-confirm-dev`, so neither documented command could ever have
  run. Both corrected, and `seed.go is a standalone tool` became the
  conventional `Command seed populates ...`.
- `Server/CLAUDE.md`'s Layout list now names `cmd/` and states that no Go
  entry point lives in `scripts/`.

Two files, 20 insertions, 17 deletions. `go list` main packages go from
`{server, server/cmd/genprotocol, server/scripts}` to `{server,
server/cmd/genprotocol, server/cmd/seed}` — the count is unchanged at three,
which is the honest framing: this relocates a main package to a conventional
path, it does not remove one from the build graph.

Verified: both directions, by building the pre-change file and the
post-change file and running each in a fresh empty directory. Before, `seed`
with no flags exits 1 *and leaves a `data/` directory behind*; `seed -h`
exits 0 and also leaves `data/` behind. After, both exit the same way and
create nothing — `data/ exists=NO` in each case. The happy path is unchanged:
`seed -confirm-dev` in an empty directory creates `data/` at mode 0750,
writes `data/chatserver.db`, and reports 4 users / 5 channels / 31 messages;
a second run reports 0 new rows, so idempotence survives. The old documented
invocation now fails loudly (`go run scripts/seed.go` -> `stat
scripts/seed.go: no such file or directory`) and the new one is what the
comment says. All four build-tag variants compile, `go vet ./...` passes,
`gofmt -l` is clean outside `db/dbgen`, and `npx prettier --check .` passes.

Behaviour delta, called out rather than left silent: the two cases above
(`-h`, and a missing `-confirm-dev`) no longer create `./data`. That is a
change, not a pure relocation. It is the change RL-10 asks for — the remedy
text is "remove import/test-time filesystem side effects" — and the
alternative that preserves the old behaviour exactly, making the `MkdirAll`
the first statement of `main()` before `flag.Parse()`, would keep precisely
the side effect the item exists to remove.

Not included: `Server/scripts/genprotocol` was moved to `Server/cmd/` by the
RL-09 commit rather than here, so the "executable tooling under conventional
command ownership" class is closed across the two commits, not this one
alone. `filepath.Dir(*dbPath)` was evaluated for the `MkdirAll` and rejected:
it would fix a real gap (`-db /elsewhere/x.db` still creates a useless
`./data` and does not create `/elsewhere`) but it means creating an arbitrary
directory from CLI input, and that is a behaviour change past "shift it out
of `init()`" — worth its own item. No `make seed` target was added, and the
dated `docs/audit-*.md` rows naming `Server/scripts/seed.go` keep the old
path. The findings ledger has zero references to this file, so no re-render
was needed.
