1/**
2 * Decide whether a given file is "generated" (regenerated by a build step,
3 * unsafe to write variants into) or "source" (safe to edit, changes persist).
4 *
5 * Why this matters: when the user picks an element on a page whose underlying
6 * file is regenerated by a build step (e.g. `scripts/build-sub-pages.js`
7 * rewriting `public/docs/*.html`), writing variants or accepted changes into
8 * that file is silent data loss — the next build wipes them.
9 *
10 * Signals, in order of reliability:
11 * 1. Git check-ignore: gitignored files are assumed generated.
12 * 2. File-header markers ("GENERATED", "DO NOT EDIT", "AUTO-GENERATED")
13 * within the first ~300 characters — catches non-git projects.
