Kjell Tore Guttormsen 6e9b8168e3 fix(calibration): grade active content on URL shape, not construct type
v0.3.0 made the untrusted upload path unusable: measured on both doors, an
ordinary remote image fail_secure'd and an ordinary link/autolink/refdef
quarantined, so only documents without external references persisted.

Two independent defects compounded; neither fix works alone:

1. `markdown-image: HIGH` fired on any external image. The exfil primitive is a
   URL that moves bytes outward, not an image. `is_ordinary_url` now grades on
   shape - http(s)/protocol-relative, no query, no userinfo, no percent-escape,
   no opaque host label or path segment -> LOW; anything data-carrying keeps the
   carrier's severity. raw-html and data: URIs stay HIGH unconditionally.
   Opacity reuses entropy's primitives; floors calibrated against real doc URLs
   (worst legit token H=4.08, exfil segments 4.36-4.54) and frozen in
   calibration.

2. The quarantine_default floor fired on ANY finding, a premise that broke when
   every ordinary link became a finding. It now fires at MEDIUM+ - a no-op for
   every detector that shipped before 0.3.0 (no LOW/INFO exists), which is what
   makes this a patch rather than a minor.

The corpus blind spot that let this pass 522 green tests is closed: the FP
corpus carries realistic markdown and is asserted on the OUTPUT gate under
PRESET_USER_UPLOAD, with a counter-corpus of exfil-shaped URLs that must still
block. Beaconing and short opaque segments are conceded in LIMITATIONS and
asserted by the coverage matrix rather than papered over.

No new public API; no new preset (0.4.0 work); allow_reserved default unchanged.

"""Tests for the report-only active-content detector (review 2026-07, Session A).
``scan_active_content`` closes the EchoLeak wiring hole (CVE-2025-32711): the
active-content classes ``neutralize`` can defang — markdown images/links,
reference-link definitions, angle-bracket autolinks, raw active HTML, ``data:``
URIs — must also surface as *findings* on the standard gate, so
``screen_output`` and ``okf.import_bundle`` dispose of them instead of admitting
them silently (OWASP LLM05 — Improper Output Handling).
Report-only twin of ``neutralize`` (design principles 3 & 4): it never mutates,
and severities mirror the defanger's (image / raw-html / data-uri HIGH, links
MEDIUM). One deliberate divergence: markdown images/links are flagged only when
the URL is absolute or protocol-relative — a relative in-document link carries
no exfiltration affordance, and flagging it would silently over-block legitimate
wiki content (design principle 5: over-blocking is a failure mode).
