Observations and challenges identified when using git subtree and splitsh/lite having been documented (free form) in this task

There will now be no shared JS code we can make a proof of concept extraction of.

I sorta missed declining this. I'm not against declining it per se but I want to mention that we nesseceraly don't need to extract a "shared" js as POC of a mono-repo. Tainted ref and data bridge in my humble opinion are actually pretty good candidates to have their code mirrored to a git repo as they are pretty self-contained (we can also bring back term box later, but that's for another topic).
