/**
* applyBrand.mjs — brand TEXT from the bind mount (PLAN.md §7)
*
* Runs immediately before the server, as part of `npm start`. For an empty mount — the
* stock deployment, and the common case — it reads two small files, finds nothing to do
* and exits. It is not a build step and it is not a template engine.
*
* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* THE PROBLEM THIS SOLVES
* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* §7 promises that renaming the product, changing the Discord invite or publishing a
* different contact address is the same class of change as swapping a logo: edit the file
* in the mount, restart, done. §6 prerenders every page. Those two are in direct conflict,
* because a value read at build time is baked into HTML that no mounted file can reach.
*
* Assets escape the conflict by being served per request from `/brand/*`. Text cannot: it
* is inside the markup.
*
* Three ways out were considered and the org lead chose this one (2026-08-20):
*
* 1. THIS — rewrite the built HTML at boot, before the server opens a socket. Every page
* stays prerendered, Pagefind still has static HTML to index in phase 10, and the docs
* are covered by the same pass as the marketing pages.
* 2. Mark the brand-bearing pages `prerender = false`. Simpler, but the footer is on
* every page, so "the handful" is the whole site — and the docs would have to stay
* static for search anyway, leaving them showing the stock name.
* 3. Accept text as build-time and amend §7. Cheapest, and it gives up the promise.
*
* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* WHY IT REWRITES FROM A RECORD RATHER THAN FROM THE DEFAULTS
* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The obvious version of this script replaces the DEFAULT value with the mounted one. It
* works exactly once. The second time an operator edits the mount — renaming from "Foo" to
* "Bar" — the default no longer appears anywhere in the HTML, every replacement matches
* nothing, and the site silently keeps saying "Foo". The bug would surface as "the first
* change worked and the second did nothing", which is a miserable thing to debug.
*
* So the script records what it baked, in `dist/.brand-applied.json`, and the next run
* rewrites from that record to the new values. A fresh image has no record and starts from
* the defaults, which is the same thing said differently.
*
* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* WHAT MAKES PLAIN STRING REPLACEMENT SAFE HERE
* ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Not much, on its own — which is why `scripts/checkBrand.mjs` exists. It fails the build
* if any rewritable default is short enough to collide with ordinary markup or prose. The
* check is the mechanism; the eight-character minimum below is only its last line.
*
* Replacing the site name across the docs as well as the marketing pages is deliberate. If
* the product is renamed, prose that says "Runic Gateway" should say the new name too.
