Rebuild the generic packs, add shell and sysadmin, fix short race passages
The packs were not proper. An audit found 86 of 253 items (33%) carrying an attribution that just restated the category - prose *about* a topic with an invented source, which is the same fault the movies pack had. Six of thirteen packs were mostly that: technology had 15 items and one distinct attribution. - science, technology, history, nature and business are now sourced quotes with real attributions: Feynman, Curie, Hopper, Dijkstra, Lincoln, Carson, Drucker, Goodhart. 82 items, all attributed to a person or a work. - general is original factual prose, so it now carries no attribution at all rather than claiming "General knowledge" as a source. merge_packs no longer invents one from the pack's filename. - Four explanatory passages in philosophy lost their "Philosophy" attribution for the same reason. - One duplicated passage removed. Generic attributions: 86/253 before, 0/349 now. New technical packs - shell: 24 awk, sed and pipeline drills, each explaining what the line does - field splitting, associative arrays, !seen[$0]++, process substitution, xargs -0, strict mode. - sysadmin: 24 operational one-liners across systemd, disk, processes, network, permissions, SSH, backup and containers. - programming grew to 37 and hacking to 30, with git bisect, window functions, EXPLAIN ANALYZE, certificate transparency and capability audits. - All 115 technical drills carry an explanation. Race passage length - Multiplayer drew from the same pool as single player, so a race could land on a 22-character quote and be over before anyone had their hands in position. Races now require 120 characters; the filter is applied when the pool is loaded, not to the packs, since a short quote is fine to type alone. For reference, TypeRacer organises by difficulty and language rather than topic: one default English pool of ~11,900 texts plus per-language universes and specials (accuracy, repeat, easytexts, anime). Their scale comes from user submission with moderation, which is still the feature this does not have.
