- PATCH-PRESERVATION-AUDIT: add Phase 16.1 to cumulative reduction table
(122→0 orphans, Round 17); update operator test section with all 6 modes;
replace stale 'Round 3 final' re-run with current Round 17 verification
- TOOLS.md: add --regen and --dry-run flags; clarify default is opt-in
- HOOKS.md: add --regen and --dry-run to sync-versions.sh option list
Creates local/scripts/TOOLS.md as a companion to HOOKS.md,
listing only the 10 build-system operator tools (excluding the
~120 test scripts under local/scripts/).
Each tool has:
- One-line purpose
- Usage example
- All mode flags documented
The reference includes a call-tree showing which tools
run in build-preflight.sh vs pre-push-checks.sh.
Added README.md link to TOOLS.md in the Documentation section.
