shankar0123 508c7530e9 fix(web): Hotfix #8 — L-015 line-grep guard + CodeQL formatStatus orphan
Two separate issues caught after Phase 5 push:

═════════════════════════ ISSUE 1: L-015 CI GUARD ═════════════════════════

The Frontend Build job on commit 868f1c25 (sidebar maintainer attribution)
failed with:

  ::error::L-015 regression: target="_blank" without rel="noopener noreferrer":
  web/src/components/Layout.tsx:297:              target="_blank"

Root cause: the bundle-8-L-015-target-blank-rel-noopener.sh guard uses
LINE-BASED grep — it greps each line for `target="_blank"` then filters
lines containing `noopener noreferrer`. My sidebar attribution split
those across two lines (target= on 297, rel= on 298), so the line with
target= never had noopener visible to the line-grep filter and the
guard fired.

Worth noting: a Haiku-generated recommendation on the failing run claimed
"the code already has the correct rel attribute, re-run the CI job." That
recommendation was wrong — I verified the failure reproduces locally.
Haiku also invented a "FormField React.Children.only" error that doesn't
exist (all 7 FormField tests pass locally). Ignored both.

Fix: migrate the sidebar attribution from a bare <a target="_blank">
to <ExternalLink href={...}>. ExternalLink (web/src/components/
ExternalLink.tsx) is the canonical chokepoint Bundle-8 shipped exactly
for this case — it always emits `rel="noopener noreferrer"` and is
allowlisted by the L-015 guard. Trade-off: lost the rel="me" identity-
claim hint LinkedIn uses (not load-bearing — LinkedIn's verification
flow doesn't depend on it); gained the CI gate. Documented in the
edit-site comment.

═════════════════ ISSUE 2: CODEQL js/unused-local-variable #35 ═════════════

CodeQL flagged web/src/pages/DashboardPage.tsx:33 — `formatStatus` is
defined but never used. Root cause: Phase 4 (commit 9ce2d8ca) extracted
the four chart panels into pages/dashboard/charts.tsx, which also moved
formatStatus + its callers. The local definition in DashboardPage stayed
behind as dead code. CodeQL's first detection at 868f1c25 is just when
the alert was raised — the orphan dates from 9ce2d8ca.

Fix: delete the local formatStatus line, leaving a comment that points
to its new home (pages/dashboard/charts.tsx).

══════════════════════════════ VERIFICATION ════════════════════════════════

  • npx tsc --noEmit — exits 0
  • All 33 CI guards pass locally (bash scripts/ci-guards/*.sh loop —
    bundle-8-L-015 now green; no-unbound-label still at baseline 132)
  • Layout 7/7 + DashboardPage 4/4 = 11/11 green
  • npx vite build — ✓ in 3.30s
  • grep target="_blank" web/src/components/Layout.tsx → only matches
    the explanatory comment, not actual JSX
  • grep formatStatus web/src/pages/DashboardPage.tsx → only matches
    the explanatory comment, not actual code

Next CI run on master should land green.
