Keep make verification aligned with CI

The Makefile convenience target only ran the repository check and build, while npm and CI verification also cover AI integration and visual baseline integrity. Delegate make verify to the authoritative npm pipeline and expose verify-ai explicitly so local shortcuts do not miss regressions.

Constraint: Contributors may use make verify as the local pre-push check.

Rejected: Duplicate the full command chain in Makefile | delegating to npm run verify avoids future drift between verification surfaces.

Confidence: high

Scope-risk: narrow

Directive: Keep all verification entry points aligned with the authoritative npm verify pipeline.

Tested: make -n verify; make verify; npm audit --omit=dev; git diff --check

Not-tested: GitHub Actions execution after this commit.
