Betterer Incremental improvement

A compact walkthrough of a tool called better that turns migration goals into measurable fitness tests, serializes snapshots to a better results file, and refuses commits when a constraint check like smaller (fewer .js files) fails. Examples show writing a file test that produces per-file issues, using an update flag to force progress when necessary, and how merging, CI and automated counts let teams lock in incremental wins instead of long-lived branches or risky rewrites.
