monster 09972ccde1 TextPlus: native macOS plaintext editor with sync, scraping, and a freeform board

A no-Xcode AppKit app (swiftc + build.sh):
- Plaintext editor: 5 themes, line numbers, soft wrap, font controls, find,
  live Markdown preview (split mode), selection-aware Markdown toolbar.
- Freeform Board mode: zoomable/pannable canvas of page cards (portrait/landscape,
  US Letter/A4/Legal/Square/Wide/Note), clean boxes, images (paste/drop/panel),
  freehand pen/shapes, screen-grab eyedropper, nested right-click menu, rich
  status bar. The Editor follows the selected page; layout persists to a
  foo.txt.board sidecar; the .txt stays pure plaintext.
- scp-on-save to a Tailscale Mac (key auth, in-flight/quit drain).
- HTML scraping pipeline: custom selector engine + Discogs profile, ingests to
  Postgres (psql) into a marketplace_snapshots schema.

Live Markdown preview (you're looking at the source)
