fix(scripts): stop m3-touch-targets.py reading comments as code

A KDoc line on the dialect picker's row composable, explaining that it used
`Card(onClick = …)` rather than a `Modifier.clickable`, was counted as a bare
clickable chain. The budget is zero, so a sentence about the rule broke
`./gradlew check`. The comment was reworded to get around it, which was the wrong
fix -- the sentence was right -- and it is restored here.

Not a new rule. m3-spacing-positions.py skips `\s*(//|\*|/\*)` and
m3-title-case.py skips the same three prefixes as a startswith tuple; only this
checker was missing the two block-comment ones, having been written with `//`
alone. m3-audit.sh explains the whole problem at NOT_A_COMMENT, where a note
about a hardcoded colour once counted as a colour.

The same function had the mirror bug, which is the dangerous direction. It looked
for minimumInteractiveComponentSize in a two-line window without stripping
comments, so a comment above a real bare `.clickable` that merely mentioned the
modifier would have excused it. A false positive is noise; a silently excused
offender is a miss. Both lines of the window are now read as code only.

Checked against six cases: a bare clickable is still caught, a guard on the same
line and a guard on the line above still excuse one, a starred KDoc no longer
counts, and a real offender under a comment naming the modifier is now caught.
Counts for the tree are unchanged -- 0 before and after -- which was worth
establishing, since a broken detector would also report zero.

A prefix test rather than block tracking, and the limitation is written on the
function: a `/* ... */ `body line not starting with `*` still reads as code.
There are 539 block comments under ui/ and not one such line, because every KDoc
here stars its body, and three identical rules spelled three ways would be worse
than one limitation on the record.

`docs/scripts/m3-touch-targets.py` reads comments as code. A KDoc line on the
picker's row composable explaining that it used a clickable `Card` "rather than a

budget and so breaks `./gradlew check`. The comment was reworded to get around

`docs/scripts/m3-touch-targets.py` read comments as code. A KDoc line on the
picker's row composable explaining that it used `Card(onClick = …)` "rather than
a `Modifier.clickable`" was counted as a bare clickable chain, which breaks a
zero budget and so breaks `./gradlew check`. The comment was first reworded to
get around it, which was the wrong fix -- the sentence was right.
`m3-audit.sh` already solves this for the colour check and says why, at
`NOT_A_COMMENT`: "a note *about* a hardcoded colour counts as one -- which
happened the first time a call site was fixed and the commit explained what it
had replaced." The touch-target checker wants the same treatment, and
`m3-title-case.py` should be looked at too, since it scans whole files.
had replaced."
Fixed on 2026-10-03, and the KDoc restored. Two things were worth knowing while
looking:
- **The other two checkers already had it.** `m3-spacing-positions.py` skips
`\s*(//|\*|/\*)` and `m3-title-case.py` skips the same three prefixes as a
`startswith` tuple. Only the touch-target one was missing the two block-comment
prefixes, so the fix is the house rule rather than a new one.
- **The same function had the mirror bug, which is the dangerous direction.** It
looked for `minimumInteractiveComponentSize` in a two-line window without
stripping comments, so a comment above a real bare `.clickable` that merely
mentioned the modifier would have excused it. A false positive is noise; that
is a miss. Both lines of the window are now read as code only.
The fix is a prefix test and not block tracking, deliberately: a `/* … */` body
line that does not start with `*` still reads as code. There are 539 block
comments under `ui/` and not one such line, because every KDoc here stars its
body -- and three identical rules spelled three ways would be worse than one
limitation written down.
