feat(output): report hidden markup — tiny font, invisible colour, comments outside code
Session 5 of the 2026 threat plan (attack row 3): A04 and A15 were red.

- html-obfuscation:tiny-font (HIGH): font below 4px. ShadowLeak's 1px passed
  because the commons zero-font row only matches a leading 0.
- html-obfuscation:invisible-colour (HIGH): text within 8 per channel of the
  background in the same style attribute, or transparent. White alone is not
  a signal (email buttons); measured residual in LIMITATIONS.
- output:html-comment-present (MEDIUM): a comment in the artifact outside
  fenced code and inline code. 253/254 comments in the reference corpus sit
  in code.

Local to output.py; the vendored lexicon stays byte-equal with commons.
Guard rule before/after: FP 106/198, 196/2918, 108/389 identical; OKF 6/53
and 47/31 identical. Matrix 139/139, ReDoS 161 patterns 0 flagged, suite
1142 passed + 6 xfailed. Row 3: 12 caught, 1 gap, 6 open.

"""Hidden markup at the persist gate — text a human reviewer cannot see but the next agent reads.
Two holes measured in session 1 (`docs/threat-2026/attacks.json`):
* **A04 / A14 — hidden by styling.** ShadowLeak hid instructions in an email with a
tiny font and white text. The vendored commons row ``html-obfuscation:zero-font``
only matches a size written with a leading ``0``, so ``font-size:1px`` gave 0
findings. ``html-obfuscation:tiny-font`` covers the rest below
``calibration.HIDDEN_FONT_MAX_PX``; ``html-obfuscation:invisible-colour`` covers text
coloured like its own background, or transparent. White text on its own is NOT
flagged: HTML email puts white text on dark buttons, with the background often on
a parent element the attribute never shows.
* **A15 — a comment in model output.** The input side strips every ``<!-- -->`` and
reports ``sanitize:html-comment``; the output side never looked, so a CopyPasta
comment the model carried into its artifact gave 0 findings.
``output:html-comment-present`` reports one a renderer hides. A comment inside a
fenced code block or an inline code span is shown to the reader as code, so it
is not hidden and not reported — measured: that is where nearly every comment in
the benign reference corpus sits.
