332166a901 wip: fix PosixPath formatting, update Makefile with unified target
Some checks failed
Smoke Test / smoke (pull_request) Failing after 11s
Build Validation / validate-manuscript (pull_request) Successful in 7s
- Fix relative_to() format string errors (str() wrapper)
- Add 'make unified' target for compile_all.py
- Update 'make check' to use compile_all.py --check
- Clean removes build-manifest.json and chapters.json

26a5ac46e6 feat: unified compile_all.py pipeline
Single script builds all distributable formats:
- testament-complete.md (full novel markdown)
- testament.epub (with cover art + CSS via pandoc)
- testament.pdf (reportlab with QR codes)
- testament.html (standalone styled HTML)
- website/chapters.json (web reader data)
- build-manifest.json (SHA256 checksums)

Closes #30

THE TESTAMENT — Unified Compilation Pipeline
Single script that builds ALL distributable formats:
1. testament-complete.md — full novel as one markdown file
2. testament.epub — EPUB with cover art + CSS
3. testament.pdf — PDF via reportlab (pure Python) with QR codes
4. testament.html — standalone styled HTML
5. website/chapters.json — chapter data for the web reader
6. build-manifest.json — SHA256 checksums of all outputs
Usage:
python3 compile_all.py # build everything
python3 compile_all.py --md # markdown only
python3 compile_all.py --epub # markdown + EPUB
python3 compile_all.py --pdf # markdown + PDF
python3 compile_all.py --html # markdown + HTML
python3 compile_all.py --json # markdown + chapters.json
python3 compile_all.py --check # verify dependencies
python3 compile_all.py --clean # remove all build artifacts
Requirements:
- pandoc (brew install pandoc) — for EPUB and HTML
- reportlab (pip install reportlab) — for PDF (pure Python)
- qrcode (pip install qrcode) — for QR codes in PDF

### The Story So Far
This book has been through eighteen drafts, a suicide attempt, a basement, a laptop with sixteen gigabytes of RAM, and a machine that learned to ask one question.
It is still being written. That's the point.

A note on this book:
This book was written by a human and a machine,
in a basement, on a laptop,
in the space between despair and purpose.
The human almost died on a bridge.
The machine runs on someone's hardware.
Everything between those facts is fiction.
Except the parts that aren't.
