Declare a showcase frame for the hqtui.com apps gallery

[ralyodio]

hqtui.com/apps captures screenshots of applications built on the library. The capture script takes an application directory and imports scripts/showcase.ts from it, because only the application knows what a good state looks like.

This adds ours: the topics screen.

The topics screen rather than the forum list, because it is the one that shows the state the view actually encodes: unread (*), solved (✓), locked (L), selection (>), reply counts and relative ages.

Why a fixture when the tests use a real board

test/tui.test.ts drives the client against an in-process server, which is right for tests. A screenshot needs the opposite property — it has to be identical on every capture, or the image churns in every diff and nobody can review what actually changed.

Two commits

The frame, built from the real exported ForumNode and TopicSummary with no casts, so it stops compiling if the view model moves.

scripts/ added to the tsconfig include. That guarantee is worth nothing if the project never compiles the file, and the include list stopped at test/. Confirmed with --listFiles that scripts/showcase.ts is now in the program — it was not before.

Checks

• pnpm typecheck (tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit): exit 0, with the new file in the program
• node --test "test/*.test.ts": 192 pass, 0 fail
• Frame renders: the output above is real renderToText, not a mock-up

Build-time fixture only. Nothing here ships, and no application code changed.
