revert: craft checker back to bed645a's reviewed behavior; textless mount-node shell judged by eye (GSTA-92)

 ### Changed
 - **The archetype the user picks on the /design-shotgun board now reaches /design-html.** Captions name the archetype id (`classic-hero`, `long-form-story`, `minimal-conversion`, `comparison`). On approval, approved.json also gets the chosen `archetype` and its `sections` outline, added with the Edit tool so no free text reaches a shell command. /design-html reads both in Case A, and the craft section uses them as given instead of choosing again or asking.
 - **Accepted craft exceptions persist.** /design-html's finalized.json records each accepted `CRAFT_CHECK` finding in `craft_exceptions` (`id`, `count`, `reason`) and carries forward earlier ones. A later run passes that file with `--accepted`, so a finding the user already accepted is reported as accepted instead of flagged again. A higher count is still flagged as a new issue.
-- **/design-review audits a Persuade page or a redesign for craft, or on request** (`sections/craft-audit.md`, read in Phases 1-6; design-review is now carved on every host, so the audit is one lazy section, not inlined text). It runs `bin/gstack-design-craft` on each page's served HTML (or the repo file when no app runs) and files each `CRAFT_CHECK` line as a category 9 finding (no `CRAFT_RESULT` line means the check was unavailable, and the check prints none for a framework mount-node shell, a document whose body has no visible text, exiting 2; the saved page holds only inline CSS and JS, so tells in linked files are judged by eye; it also holds session data, so it is deleted in the block that checks it, whatever the exit code, and never copied to the report; `--accepted` takes that screen's finalized.json, only for a page /design-html finalized, and never covers `needs-proof` or `lorem`; on a live page a claim without proof is filed and asked about, never marked or cut); checks what the tool cannot see (claims only from the user, realistic sample content, the ship floor, a designed 404, cookie consent where required, the motion rules); files a failed Persuade check (one primary action, named objections, proof beside each claim, a real risk reversal, an index/noindex decision) as High impact; and in Phase 8 breaks impact ties with Elaya's fix order and reads the installed Tailwind major version before touching its config. The audit's rules render from /design-html's craft section, so the build and the audit cannot drift.

 - **/plan-design-review**: a Persuade plan gets the same five checks in Pass 1, Pass 4 rejects unsourced proof, and the runner checklist names them.
-- **The craft tells are catalog entries.** Placeholder people and brands, lorem, round sample numbers, `[Needs proof:` markers, "Oops" errors, scroll-listener reveals, dead `href="#"`, `alert()`, images without alt, `100vh`, and a missing title, description, favicon, skip link or `aria-current` live in `lib/design-catalog.ts` as `checkerOnly` entries: one id, one short line and the fix, reported by the craft check and kept out of Methodology category 9, `review/design-checklist.md` and the consultation bullets, so no skill carries their prose. `lib/design-craft.ts` prints only catalog ids, with each entry's `fix` text; `transition: all` now reports under the existing `layout-transition` id instead of `transition-all`. Code rules skip script bodies, so a hydration payload that repeats the markup is not counted twice, and scroll listeners are read from scripts and inline handlers.

 ### Added
 - **`gstack-design-craft --accepted <finalized.json>`**: a finding whose id an exception covers, at no more than the accepted count, prints `CRAFT_ACCEPTED: <id> <count> <reason>` and doesn't fail the check. `CRAFT_RESULT` adds the accepted count. Exit codes: 0 when only accepted findings remain, 1 for unaccepted ones, and 2 for an unknown argument or a missing, unreadable or malformed exceptions file. A bad exceptions file still gets the full check with nothing accepted, after a warning, so a broken record can't switch the craft check off. A finalized.json with no `craft_exceptions` field, written before this change, means no exceptions.

 - `test/design-craft.test.ts`: every id the check prints is a grep-detectable catalog entry, and the fix it prints is the catalog's. design-review gets its first carve guard (skeleton, union and parity ratio at their measured sizes).

New `test/design-craft-resolvers.test.ts`: `{{DESIGN_CRAFT_RULE}}` renders one paragraph with its bullets and fails generation on a missing or ambiguous lead, and both skills carry the same five Persuade checks; the generated craft audit keeps its outcome, exception and session-data rules (and the design-review carve guard checks the last one). `test/design-craft.test.ts` also covers the mount-node shell exit, a hydration payload counted once, and the needs-proof and stale-record exception cells.

 ### Gate integrity
 - Size budgets raised to measured sizes only (Garry 2026-10-25 "Do it" (GSTA-92)): the SKILL.md pins of design-review on 12 hosts (+578 Claude, +608 on the 11 external hosts: the Section index the carve test requires and the STOP pointer) and plan-design-review on the 11 external hosts (+1,082: the five Persuade plan checks). The craft tells are catalog entries the craft check reports with their fix, kept out of every rendered skill list, so design-consultation and the review checklist do not grow. No other threshold, budget, timeout, retry or trial count changed.
