Subject: [PATCH] Refactor Docs ScrollSpy to use IntersectionObserver and fix
 dist/src mismatch

Replaces legacy scroll listener with `IntersectionObserver` to eliminate layout thrashing.
- Updates `js/docsView.js` with `rootMargin: "-96px 0px -50% 0px"` and correct scroll-up logic.
- Synchronizes `dist/js/docsView.js` to match the source logic exactly.
- Updates benchmarks to use the same logic for verification.
- Updates lint scripts to exclude benchmarks.
