Walkthrough

The script scripts/write-dist-manifest.mjs now includes logic to copy static assets (README.md and LICENSE) into the dist directory before finalizing the manifest. Helper predicates for type checking were added, and error handling distinguishes between missing files and copy failures.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Dist manifest asset copying scripts/write-dist-manifest.mjs	Added imports for copyFile and stat from node:fs/promises; introduced helper predicates isRecord() and isErrnoWithCode() for type validation; implemented asset copying logic for README.md and LICENSE with existence checks and granular error handling (skip on ENOENT, throw on other errors); reordered control flow to execute asset copying before manifest serialization.

Poem

🐰 A rabbit's hop, a copy spree,
README and LICENSE bundled free,
Into dist they swiftly go,
Before the manifest's grand show! 📦
