- Candidate carries only the fields the arbiter reads (key, label,
detected_strict, detected_relaxed, features); location/region/confidence were
vestigial from the removed best_auto_mark max-by-confidence path.
- resolve_backend returns preferred_inpaint_backend() directly (typed Literal)
instead of an identity ternary.
- colour/normalise/behaviour -> US spelling across code comments and docs.
No behavior change.

Replace the `data/spaces/originals/` path with a generic "local corpus of
pristine originals" so the committed public doc carries no reference to the
local working-data pull (the data itself is gitignored). The analysis scripts'
default paths are left untouched (operational tooling, no content/provenance).
