description	Generate the stdlib-js module scaffold for a BLAS/LAPACK routine
argument-hint	<routine>

Generate the stdlib-js module scaffold for a BLAS/LAPACK routine. Run:

python bin/scaffold.py $ARGUMENTS

The first argument is the package (blas or lapack), the second is the routine name. Add -d "description" for the one-line description.

If the user provides just a routine name, determine the package by checking whether the source exists in data/BLAS-3.12.0/ (blas) or data/lapack-3.12.0/SRC/ (lapack).

The scaffold generates 16 files:

• lib/base.js — stub with correct signature (implement this)
• lib/ndarray.js — validation wrapper for stdlib string params (uplo, trans, diag, side)
• lib/<routine>.js — layout wrapper with isLayout, string, dimension, and LD validation
• lib/main.js, lib/index.js — entry points
• test/test.js — export/arity checks
• test/test.<routine>.js — layout wrapper validation tests
• test/test.ndarray.js — scaffold for ndarray computation tests
• benchmark/benchmark.js, benchmark/benchmark.ndarray.js
• docs/types/index.d.ts — dual signatures with @stdlib/types imports
• docs/types/test.ts — TypeScript compile-time tests
• docs/repl.txt, README.md, examples/index.js, package.json (with keywords)
• LEARNINGS.md — template

After scaffolding, the translator only needs to:

1. Implement lib/base.js
2. Write real tests in test/test.ndarray.js
3. Add manual validation in ndarray.js for nonstandard string params (job, norm, etc.)
4. Fill in LEARNINGS.md
