Subject: [PATCH 21/22] fix: address basePath review feedback
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

1. Make basePath a module-level variable (like BUILD_ID) instead of
   threading it through asset()/assetSrcSet() parameters. The public
   API no longer exposes basePath — it's set once via setBasePath()
   during app.handler() initialization.

2. Guard applyBasePath against double-prefixing — if the path already
   starts with basePath, return it unchanged.

3. Improve basePath validation — use URL round-trip check instead of
   an incomplete character regex, catching all invalid path characters.

4. Island CSS paths confirmed safe — they are root-relative from the
   build system and never include basePath, so applyBasePath (now via
   asset()) is correct.
