Ship the measured Meta Content Seal cohort with auto routing and --vendor override

Full Meta Muse Image support in the invisible-removal path:

- QWEN_ZIMAGE_META_STRENGTH = 0.1: derived by the standard
  worst-boundary-plus-cross-source-spread method over five oracle-bracketed
  generations (data/contentseal/manifest.csv)
- Auto mode: vendor_for_strength routes a file whose only provenance is the
  standalone AI IPTC trainedAlgorithmicMedia tag onto the meta cohort; C2PA
  issuers win first, so Google/OpenAI/Microsoft routing is unchanged. Muse
  WebP outputs place the XMP in a tail chunk, so the scan uses the shared
  chunk-aware metadata.scan_head rather than a plain head read
- Explicit override: --vendor on invisible/all/batch and
  InvisibleOptions.vendor name the cohort on stripped files; naming a cohort
  asserts the watermark is present, so the no-signal gate treats it like
  --force at both the CLI and API seams
- sdxl-zimage has no measured Meta rung: an explicit meta vendor falls to
  the conservative unknown 0.25 rather than inventing one
- identify emits a Content Seal caveat pointing at the removal path
- The legacy visible 'Imagined with AI' mark stays unregistered: a dedicated
  sample hunt (newsroom mockups, community posts, press screenshots, dead
  imagine.meta.com, broken Wayback captures) found no pixel-verifiable
  capture, and the registry rule forbids encoding a corner without one.
  erase --region remains its removal path; outcome recorded in the landscape

OpenAI / Google / Microsoft come from their C2PA issuers. Meta is the
fallback cohort: Muse Image carries no C2PA at all, and its only readable
companion is the IPTC ``trainedAlgorithmicMedia`` XMP tag -- a standard code
other platforms also use. Attributing that tag to Meta is a measured bet,
not an identification: the other tag users in this project's model (ByteDance
products, X) ship no invisible pixel watermark this profile targets, so the
worst misroute spends the Meta floor (0.1) where the resolution curve would
have spent a similar amount, and Google/OpenAI files never reach this arm
because their C2PA matched first."""
