The check asserts that every make target named in a doc exists, and its
scanned set was .pi/ plus CLAUDE.md.  Since #50, CONTRIBUTING.md is the
document a *human* goes to for a build command, and it names 21 targets
that nothing verified; README.md names none today and is in for the same
reason.  The script's own header sentence is the argument — a renamed
target sends a person off the same cliff it sends an agent off.

The file list is now one `docs` variable used twice, because the failure
message carried a second copy of it and a second list is a second thing
to forget.  The `[ -d .pi ]` guard went with it: gating the whole run on
.pi/ would make the human-facing half conditional on the agent-facing
one, and an empty list is the same "nothing to scan" exit without the
coupling.

The lefthook glob is that scanned set now rather than
{Makefile,.pi/**/*.md} — #220's smaller half, and it did not fire on
CLAUDE.md either, which the script had read for months.

Verified by planting a bad target rather than by reading the diff: both
matched forms in each of the four scanned surfaces, each naming the
right file; the same two plants pass on the pre-change script; unfenced
prose still does not match; and the hook fires on a staged
CONTRIBUTING.md under the new glob where the old one skipped it.  The
count is unchanged at 47 — the set is a union — so coverage is the only
thing that moved.

Closes #220
