The preflight validate-source-trees.py was blocking development builds
with 'To restore: ./local/scripts/restore-sources.sh --release=<release>'
because the source/ trees for 17 core recipes (base, kernel, etc.) are
gitignored and only auto-fetched on demand by `repo cook`.
This worked correctly for release mode (REDBEAR_RELEASE=...) where
sources are immutable and pre-extracted, but blocked every dev build.
Now:
- RELEASE mode: full strict validation, sources must be pre-extracted
- Development mode: validation skipped, repo cook auto-fetches sources
This is the documented Red Bear OS policy (see AGENTS.md:
Build flow: 'make all CONFIG_NAME=redbear-full' calls repo cook which
fetches sources from git/tar URLs)
