feat(active-content): the seventh case, and the classifier it needed came with it

Adopting `active:raw-html-link` was one id. Publishing it honestly was the whole
of `active_tag_class` — one function, three branches, no way to state the split
without the no-URL narrowing and the 0.6.0 external-target rule. On the old
predicate a bare `</a>` is active by name, so a consumer implementing from the
hybrid would emit the new label where the seed runtime emits nothing.

The file is now two pins, stated as two: v0.3.4/0bf0729 everywhere except the
raw-HTML classifier, v0.7.0/be9759b there. The drift between them was measured
field by field against the imported module rather than assumed, after stripping
inline-flag rendering and applying the file's own declared quote normalisation
so a spelling difference could not masquerade as drift. Exactly one published
field had moved, and not the one this release was about: `html.active_tags`
carried the MUTATOR's 23-name set where the gate means the SCANNER's 22. Correct
at the 0.3.4 pin, wrong from 0.6.0 on. Kept as `html.mutator_tags`.

The sweep covered 93 cases, not the 6 obvious ones. The narrowing can silence an
`active:` finding inside the `observed_out_of_scope` evidence of a LEXICON case,
and that field is guarded by no test anywhere — stale entries there survive
forever. One case moved: html-obfuscation__aria-label, whose `<a aria-label=…>`
carries no URL attribute. Its fixture is deliberately not rewritten; the residue
is true at the commit `measurement` pins, and rewriting one of 83 would leave two
commits under a header naming one. Recorded, dated and pinned in the manifest.

The strongest check is not the digest: the checker rebuilds the published
classifier from the JSON alone, importing nothing from the runtime, and
differential-tests it against `active_tag_class` over 42 probe tags. 0
disagreements. That is what licenses shipping a classifier as data.

No `aliases.llm_security` published, on this file or on carriers.

The same run REBUILT the published raw-HTML classifier from `signatures/active-content.json` alone — the `html.algorithm` steps, tag sets and attribute patterns, nothing imported from the runtime — and differential-tested it against the runtime's `active_tag_class` over 42 probe tags spanning both classes, the narrowing, the event-handler precedence and the outside-the-name-set branch: 0 disagreements.
