/**
 * Levenshtein distance for short-string typo detection. Rule names, tool names,
 * and hook events are short, so edit distance is more appropriate than NCD
 * (which is tuned for longer texts).
 *
 * Extracted to its own zero-dependency leaf module so the typo detectors
 * (tool-contract, hook-events) can import it WITHOUT pulling in `core/linters.ts`,
 * which runs a `node:fs`/`process`/`glob` side effect at import time — the
 * blocker to running those detectors in a browser (the in-browser audit demo).
