Reverts #960. The live site went from 574 pages to 59 on the last deploy, and that removed real content, not just archives: PERFORMANCE_BENCHMARKING_README, the research and validation documents at the docs root, and 165 archived pages that were nonetheless published and linkable. Anything pointing at them now 404s.

My reasoning in #960 was that SUMMARY.md declares 59 chapters and the rest was noise. That was a content decision dressed up as a build-tool upgrade, and it wasn't mine to make. The site has published everything under docs/ for as long as md-book has built it.

Restoring first. If narrowing the published surface is wanted, it should be a deliberate change with the pages either added to SUMMARY.md or explicitly retired.

md-book 0.2.0 itself is unaffected by this revert — the directory-walk path is fully supported and tested.

This reverts the switch to `md-book build .`, restoring `md-book -i . -o book`.

The change cut the published site from 574 pages to 59. I framed that as
removing archives and artefacts; it also removed real, linked content —
PERFORMANCE_BENCHMARKING_README, the research and validation documents at
the docs root, and 165 archived pages that were nonetheless live. Anything
linking to them now 404s.

SUMMARY.md describes 59 chapters, but the site has been publishing
everything under docs/ for as long as md-book has built it, and readers and
links depend on that. Narrowing the published surface is a content decision
for the docs owner, not a side effect of a build-tool upgrade.

Restores the previous behaviour first; the narrowing can be proposed
separately, with the missing pages either added to SUMMARY.md or explicitly
retired.
