fix: correct tax-app exclusion rationale

Browse Source 
tax-app is a demo app I built for an upcoming YC channel video,
not an "import-dominated history" as the previous commit claimed.
Excluded because it's not production shipping work, not because
of an import commit.

Updated rationale in scripts/garry-output-comparison.ts's
EXCLUDED_REPOS constant, in docs/ON_THE_LOC_CONTROVERSY.md's
method section + conclusion, and in the README hero wording
("one demo repo" vs the earlier "repos dominated by imported code").

Numbers unchanged — the exclusion itself is the same, just the
reason.

I'm [Garry Tan](https://x.com/garrytan), President & CEO of [Y Combinator](https://www.ycombinator.com/). I've worked with thousands of startups — Coinbase, Instacart, Rippling — when they were one or two people in a garage. Before YC, I was one of the first eng/PM/designers at Palantir, cofounded Posterous (sold to Twitter), and built Bookface, YC's internal social network.
**gstack is my answer.** I've been building products for twenty years, and right now I'm shipping more products than I ever have. In the last 60 days: 3 production services, 40+ shipped features, part-time, while running YC full-time. On logical code change — not raw LOC, which AI inflates — my 2026 run rate is **~810× my 2013 pace** (11,417 vs 14 logical lines/day). Year-to-date (through April 18), 2026 has already produced **240× the entire 2013 year**. Measured across 40 public + private `garrytan/*` repos including Bookface, after excluding repos dominated by imported code. AI wrote most of it. The point isn't who typed it, it's what shipped.

> The LOC critics aren't wrong that raw line counts inflate with AI. They are wrong that normalized-for-inflation, I'm less productive. I'm more productive, by a lot. Full methodology, caveats, and reproduction script: **[On the LOC Controversy](docs/ON_THE_LOC_CONTROVERSY.md)**.
