chore: replace all em dashes with hyphen-minus

[Copilot]

Removes all occurrences of the Unicode em dash character (—) from repository documentation, replacing each with - (space-hyphen-space).

Note: this PR targets em dashes only. Other non-ASCII characters (e.g., the box-drawing glyphs ├──/└── in CLAUDE.md's package-structure diagram) are intentional and left untouched.

Files changed

• .gitignore - 3 IDE section comments
• README.md - tagline and feature bullet list
• CLAUDE.md - prose, package structure table, build quirk notes
• docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-24-schematic-parsing-list-info.md - plan prose, inline code comments and string literals within code examples
• docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-24-schematic-parsing-list-info-design.md - spec prose

No functional code changed; all replacements are in documentation, comments, and string literals inside planning/spec markdown.

Original prompt

Create a pull request in BENZOOgataga/FrameShift that removes all em dashes (—) from the codebase.

Requirements:

• Find all occurrences of the Unicode em dash character — across the repository.
• Replace with a hyphen-minus - where a punctuation substitution is appropriate (e.g., prose in README/docs, comments, strings).
• Where an em dash was used to imply a parenthetical or clause break and a simple - would be awkward, rephrase the surrounding text to remove the em dash (use commas/parentheses or reword the sentence).
• Preserve meaning and readability; do not change functional code behavior.
• Be careful with source code and string literals used in tests/snapshots; update expected outputs accordingly.
• Avoid modifying generated or lock files unless they contain em dashes in human-facing text (prefer leaving lockfiles untouched if possible).

Deliverables:

• PR with all changes committed.
• Include a concise PR description summarizing what was changed and how to review.

Notes:

• The user did not specify exact hyphen formatting; default to replacing — with - (space-hyphen-space) in prose when a direct substitution is acceptable, otherwise rephrase.

The following is the prior conversation context from the user's chat exploration (may be truncated):

User: remove any em dashes in this codebase, and replace it with either a - , or rephrase it

Assistant: To do that, I need you to explicitly ask for a PR (or tell me you don’t want a PR and I’ll instead give you a local/scripted approach), because “remove any em dashes in this codebase” requires making repo-wide code changes.

Please confirm one of these:

1. Open a PR in BENZOOgataga/FrameShift that removes/rephrases all em dashes (—) across the repository, replacing them with either - or rewritten text where appropriate.
2. No PR: you want a script/commands you can run locally (I’ll provide a safe approach with a reviewable diff).

Also, two quick preferences so I apply the right transformation:

• When it’s just punctuation between words (e.g., foo — bar), should I always convert to foo - bar (with spaces) or foo-bar (no spaces)?
• Should I touch generated/lock files (like package-lock.json, yarn.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml) or leave them alone?

User: make a PR

Assistant: I’ve kicked off the pull request creation, and we’re now waiting on your confirmation in the approval dialog before I can proceed with scanning the repo and committing the em-dash replacements.

I read your thread too fast, don't remove those characters, they are here for structuring folders and files in the README.md file. Revert.

Updated the PR description to clarify that only...

No characters were removed - the box-drawing glyphs (├──/└──) were never touched by this PR or by my changes. The only thing I did was update the PR description to clarify that those characters are intentional and left untouched. The files are already in the correct state; there is nothing to revert.
