feat(#1867): ui-consideration-probe adapter over probe-core (ADPT-01/02/03, FILT-01)

Third probe-core adapter on the UI element/state axis, mirroring edge-probe.
Closed 8-id shape-rooted UI_TAXONOMY + element-cue relevance filter
(UI_CUES -> classifyElement -> applicableCategories); unclassified fail-loud
soft-signal (#1110); fail-closed on invalid authored element kinds. All
lifecycle/merge/validation delegated to probe-core verbatim (no fork). Item
question carried in the shared Item.probe field. LIFT-01 proven at the
probe-core primitive level (projectTruths/dispositionForUnverifiableTruth):
backstop considerations route to insufficient_spec, never a silent pass.

Tests assert typed returns off the built .cjs (no source-grep).

/**
* UI-consideration probe — the THIRD adapter of the probe-core resolution model
* (ADR-457 build model; ADR-550 Decision 7 seam; #1867).
*
* The generic resolution lifecycle, the status×verification re-cut, `validateResolution`,
* `validateRequirement`, the `analyzeCoverage` merge/rollup/orphan-reject engine, and the
* `runProbeCli` scaffold all live in `src/probe-core.cts`. This module keeps ONLY the
* UI-specific cluster: the six element kinds, the closed 8-category shape-rooted UI state
* taxonomy, element classification, consideration proposal, and the `{ explicit, backstop }`
* verification validators — mirroring `edge-probe` on the UI element/state axis.
*
* MIXED-axis boundary (spike verdict, ADR-550 pattern): this compiled taxonomy covers ONLY the
* finite, project-independent shape-rooted *content/robustness* states (empty/loading/error/…).
* Open, domain-specific UX considerations (real-time/offline, deep a11y/WCAG breadth, i18n/RTL
* depth, emerging interaction paradigms) are prose-owned in `references/domain-probes.md`, NOT
* here — forcing them into a closed compiled taxonomy is the wrong model.
*
* Authored as strict TypeScript (`src/ui-consideration-probe.cts`) and compiled by
* `tsc -p tsconfig.build.json` to the gitignored runtime artifact
* `gsd-core/bin/lib/ui-consideration-probe.cjs`. Do NOT hand-write the `.cjs`; it is emitted.
* Tests `require()` the built artifact; `pretest` runs `build:lib` first.
