track the demo as a real site in examples/, gated like the docs

The human asked for a demo extensive enough to review by hand, tracked as files,
and kept current the way docs are. Generated filler cannot be reviewed — you cannot
read a Go function and see what a reader sees — so the generator is deleted and
`examples/demo-site/` is an ordinary site: 33 Markdown files, six pictures,
site.yaml, a template override and static files.

My reason for generating it was ADR-0011, and I had that rule wrong: it puts the
*author's site root* outside this repository, not fixtures. conventions.md already
keeps golden files in testdata/, and this is the same category one size up. Keeping
both a generator and files would have been two sources of truth, so one had to go.

Kept true by two gates rather than by good intentions. A table-driven test in
internal/web serves the directory through the real handler with one case per
feature — thirty-five of them, each naming what it proves — and verify.sh runs
`khosra check` over it and fails on anything fatal. Adding a feature now means
adding it to the demo and adding its case, and the build says so if you don't.

Extensive on purpose: eleven dated posts so a section actually paginates, a
four-chapter series so first/last are not the neighbours, a gallery with three
JPEGs and an SVG so both the resampled and the untouched paths show, a Bengali-only
bundle, a titleless status, a draft, a future date, an include, a nested extras
tree, and a typography page that demonstrates what the engine will not do.

Two expectations of mine were wrong and the demo corrected them: the site's own
list template overrides *tag* listings too, so there are no group headings there —
which turns out to be the better demonstration of ADR-0046, since the theme picking
the flat shape is exactly the point. And template literal text is not escaped, so
an apostrophe stays an apostrophe.

Three studies and a diagram. The gallery below is every picture in this directory, in filename order — the
numeric prefixes do the ordering without appearing in any URL.

The three JPEGs carry generated widths in a `srcset`. The SVG does not: nothing here can resample it, so it is
rendered exactly as it was drawn rather than dropped for being inconvenient.

title: About This Demo

No date, so this page is not a feed item — the engine decides feed membership by asking whether something has
a publication date, which is a fact already on disk.
Every file under `examples/demo-site/` in the khosra repository is here to be *served* and read. If the engine
can do something this site does not show, that is a gap in the demo; if the demo asks for something the engine
cannot do, that is a gap in the engine.

Built by khosra: one Go binary, four dependencies, no JavaScript anywhere in the reference theme.
The stylesheet is inlined into every page, so a site root with no `static/` still renders. A real theme would
replace it, and `templates/list.html` in this site root shows how — that one file overrides a single named
block and inherits the rest of the document.

There is no Bengali version of this one. Ask for `/bn/posts/only-english/` and the engine serves this instead
of a 404 — the fallback chain is requested, then the default locale, then any variant at all. The canonical

The finished piece. Below, a part of it lives in a separate file and is included here:
{{< include file="_method.md" >}}
That fragment starts with an underscore, so the scanner never treats it as a bundle: it has no URL of its own
and appears in no listing. An included file cannot itself include — one level, deliberately.
This bundle also has an `extras/` directory, so the theme offers a link to it at the foot of the page.

"Quotes become curly," she said -- and dashes become dashes, while an ellipsis... becomes one character. That
is the whole of what the engine does to an author's words: a Markdown parser option, nothing more.
Inside a code span none of it happens: `"quotes" -- and ellipses...` survive byte for byte, because the
typographer works on the parsed tree rather than on the text.
Line breaking is not the engine's business at all. This paragraph is deliberately long enough to wrap several
times on a narrow screen, which is where you would notice a lonely last word — and the stylesheet asks the
browser to avoid one with `text-wrap: pretty`, because only the browser knows where the lines actually fall.
A code block, indented.
Also untouched.
