Part of https://codefloe.com/rpkgs/bincraft/issues/225. Stacked on #234.
Every connection to the metadata database used `sslmode = 'require'`, which encrypts but does not authenticate the server, so anyone able to impersonate `r-binaries.devxy.io:15432` would receive `PGPASS`.
## Changes
- `.crow/build-all-versions.yaml`, `process-updates.yaml`, `prune-stale-flat-binaries.yaml`, `reindex.yaml`, `weekly-rebuild-reindex.yaml`: `metadata_db_sslmode = 'verify-full'` in every bincraft call.
- `local/*.R`: the same for bincraft calls; scripts that call `DBI::dbConnect()` directly also pass `sslrootcert = bincraft::postgres_sslrootcert("verify-full")`, because libpq looks for `~/.postgresql/root.crt` rather than the system trust store.
- `README.md`: note that the endpoint serves a Let's Encrypt certificate and how to verify it.
- air reformatted three `=` assignments to `<-` in `local/missing-cran-packages-db.R` and `local/packages-without-any-binary.R` while the hook ran on those files.
## Ordering: merge last
1. devxy/k8s-talos#417 must be live: today the server presents an in-cluster certificate from a private CA, which `verify-full` rejects.
2. https://codefloe.com/rpkgs/bincraft/pulls/226 must be released: `local/install-bincraft.R` installs the latest tag, and older releases neither pass a root certificate nor export `postgres_sslrootcert()`.
3. #234 must be merged.
Merging early fails every database connection in CI, and since #234 per-minor reindex failures fail the pipeline.

## Summary
Builds R-minor-sensitive CRAN packages once per installed R minor version (into per-minor S3 slots `…/contrib/<x.y>/`) and everything else once into the generic slot, driven by bincraft 4.2.0's ABI classifier. Both the full and iterative pipelines are covered.
## What's in here
**Detection / precompute**
- `local/r-minor-helpers.R` — pure `classify_from_metadata()` (NeedsCompilation / risky `LinkingTo`) + `parse_build_args()`, with unit tests.
- `local/packages-to-build.R` — adds a per-package `r_minor_sensitive` flag: cheap CRAN-metadata rules first, source download + `bincraft::needs_per_minor_recompile()` only for the ambiguous compiled subset (fail-safe to sensitive). Classified once per package, applied to all versions.
**Full build**
- `local/build-all.R` — passes the per-row `is_r_minor_sensitive` flag; new `--sensitive-only` mode builds just the risky subset.
- `.crow/build-all-versions-{amd64,arm64}.yaml` — install-deps persists the sensitive subset; build step runs a sensitive-only pass under each non-primary `/opt/R/*` minor; new step uploads the generic index plus a per-minor index for each minor.
**Iterative build**
- All 14 `.crow/process-updates-*.yaml` — primary pass uses `r_minor_detection = 'classifier'`; a sensitive-only multi-R pass builds risky updates under each other minor; per-minor index upload added.
**Tooling / housekeeping**
- Pins bincraft `v4.1.1` → `v4.2.0` across all workflows; removes the superseded standalone `build-r-minor-sensitive-packages.yaml`.
- Adds prek/pre-commit hooks (prettier, markdownlint, editorconfig-checker, yamllint, air) and applies them repo-wide; excludes the verbatim GPL `LICENSE.md` and auxiliary shell scripts.
- Design + implementation docs under `docs/superpowers/`.
## Requires before merge
- A `v4.2.0` git tag must be pushed on the bincraft repo (codefloe.com/rpkgs/bincraft) — the workflow install steps pin `@v4.2.0`. The full-build install-deps clones `main`, so it is unaffected.
