chore: expand pnpm check to mirror full CI merge gate

[nick-inkeep]

Summary

• Expand pnpm check to chain turbo check + format:check + check:env-descriptions + knip — matching exactly what CI runs
• Fix contributing docs: remove stale caveat about CI running extra checks, correct pre-push hook description
• Update AGENTS.md to reflect that pnpm check now mirrors the full CI merge gate

Motivation

pnpm check was incomplete — it only ran the turbo subset (lint + typecheck + test), while CI also ran format:check, check:env-descriptions, and knip as separate steps. The CI failure summary misleadingly told developers "Run pnpm check locally to reproduce the CI checks." The extra steps add <8s to a ~2min run (measured locally), so there's no reason for them to be separate.

Part of the Local CI Parity spec. Playwright browser install deferred to after PR #2054 merges (introduces setup-dev.js).

Changes

1. package.json — expand check script to chain all CI steps
2. AGENTS.md — add pnpm check to Essential Commands, simplify verification commands section
3. agents-docs/.../contributing/overview.mdx — remove CI extra-checks caveat, fix pre-push hook description (was wrong: claimed check:prepush but actually runs pnpm format)

What's NOT affected

• check:husky and check:prepush — these reference turbo tasks directly in turbo.json, not the root check script
• CI workflow — still runs steps separately for granular failure attribution
• Pre-push / pre-commit hooks — unchanged

Test plan

• pnpm check script correctly chains: turbo check && format:check && check:env-descriptions && knip
• check:husky and check:prepush scripts unchanged (verified via node -e)
• All three extra steps pass independently (format:check, check:env-descriptions, knip)
• Pre-push hook file (.husky/pre-push) confirmed to run pnpm format (matches updated docs)
• Lint-staged passes on commit

💡 APPROVE WITH SUGGESTIONS

Summary: This is a clean, well-scoped PR that achieves its stated goal of local-CI parity. The documentation fixes are accurate (verified the pre-push hook does run pnpm format), and the script expansion correctly chains all CI steps. The only minor issue is a terminology inconsistency within AGENTS.md — one location says "format" while another says "format:check". A quick fix to use "format:check" consistently would improve clarity. Nice work! 🎉

Location	Issue	Reason Discarded
.github/workflows/ci.yml	CI runs steps separately while local script chains them	Intentional design per PR description — CI gets granular failure attribution, local gets fail-fast. Not an issue.
.github/workflows/ci.yml:21-34	Third-party GitHub Actions use mutable tags instead of SHA pins	Pre-existing issue not introduced by this PR. Out of scope.
