feat(#2081): CI lint for comment blocks over 30 lines

Flags any contiguous comment block longer than 30 lines — the threshold
above which a why/impl-notes block should move to docs/ rather than live
in-code (the #2077 rubric, made self-enforcing).

- scripts/check-comment-blocks.sh: git+awk, mirrors check-issue-refs.sh's
  capture-output shape (robust to xargs batching). Handles # line comments
  (nix/sh), // line comments (rs/js/ts), and /* */ (rs/js/ts/css) + <!-- -->
  (html) block comments. Blank separates line-comment blocks; a blank inside
  a /* */ / <!-- --> block stays part of it. lint:allow-long-comment escape
  hatch. Threshold is a tunable constant.
- ci.yml: own 'comment-block lint' job, kept OUT of required checks while the
  tree settles (red signal, not a merge gate), like the tracker-tag lint.

Current tree has 6 blocks > 30 (all in the frontend + hive-c0re-core #2077
slices, none in nix/infra): matrix-accounts.js, permissions.js,
stream-worker.js, terminal.js, hivectl.rs:1036, assets.rs. Non-required, so
non-blocking — they're the remaining #2077 targets for those area owners.

# CI lint: flags a contiguous comment block longer than MAX lines. A giant
# prose block in source is a signal it should live in docs/ as an
# "implementation notes" section instead — short "why"/invariant/contract
# comments stay, walls of text move out. See the hive convention in #2077.
#
# Emits a CI error annotation per offending block and exits 1 if any block
# exceeds MAX. Runs as its own CI job, kept OUT of the required checks while
# the tree settles: a hit turns the job red (visible, non-blocking) without
# blocking merge. Promote to required once the tree is clean.
#
# Scope: tracked *.rs *.nix *.sh *.js *.ts *.css *.html. Markdown is exempt
# (it is prose by nature). Comment forms: `#` line comments (nix/sh), `//`
# line comments (rs/js/ts), and `/* */` (rs/js/ts/css) + `<!-- -->` (html)
# block comments. A blank line separates two line-comment blocks (does NOT
# extend a run); a blank inside a `/* */` / `<!-- -->` block stays part of it.
#
# Escape hatch: a `lint:allow-long-comment` marker anywhere in a block
# exempts it (reserve for a genuinely irreducible block; prefer relocating).
