fix: a NUL byte was hiding two source files from grep, git and diff

Browse Source

TaskHost.tsx used a literal NUL as the delimiter in its drag-and-drop
payload, and tools/dict/build.mjs used one to join headword and part of
speech. Both work at runtime. Both also make the file *binary* to every
text tool: git shows "Bin 12259 bytes" instead of a diff, and grep prints
nothing at all for a match.

That is not hypothetical. Searching TaskHost.tsx for "<input" came back
empty three times while reviewing it, which is how its four exercise
inputs came to be reported as absent -- and why the accessibility defect
in them went unseen. Written as the escape \u0000 the value is identical
and the file stays text.

test/source-hygiene.test.ts fails on any control byte in a source file, so
this cannot come back quietly.

With the files readable again, the sweep the NUL had been hiding: eleven
form controls had no accessible name. The exercise blanks announced only
an ellipsis, and the part-of-speech select announced nothing. A
placeholder is not a label -- it disappears the moment you type. All
eleven now carry one, named after the thing they answer.

`npm run lint` gains --max-warnings 0. exhaustive-deps is configured as a
warning, so a hooks-dependency bug would have passed CI silently.
