/**
* TOK Scanner Token Hotspots / Opus 4.7 patterns
*
* Detects four structural Opus 4.7-era token-efficiency patterns:
* CA-TOK-001 cache-breaking volatile top in CLAUDE.md (medium)
* CA-TOK-002 redundant tool/permission declarations (low)
* CA-TOK-003 deep @import chain (>2 hops) (medium)
* CA-TOK-004 sonnet-era signature clean config with no Opus 4.7 features (info)
*
* Also ranks every discovered config source by estimated tokens and exposes
* a `hotspots` array (310 entries) on the scanner result.
*
* Pattern catalogue: knowledge/opus-4.7-patterns.md
* Token heuristic: estimateTokens() in scanners/lib/active-config-reader.mjs
*
* Zero external dependencies.
