* fix(#1905): normalize hand-authored backstop marker so it can't degrade to green

A hand-authored non-inferable `backstop` truth with a stray trailing space (or
surrounding quotes) silently graded {status:green} instead of abstaining — the exact
#1154 false-pass. `truthVerification` returned null for any value != 'backstop'/'explicit',
and the frontmatter continuation-KV parser preserved the stray whitespace captured inside
the quotes. Normalize the marker before comparison (Postel) AND trim the continuation-KV
value at the parser (durable root cause; also cleans the sibling check_target path).

Regression: a trailing-space/quoted backstop truth now abstains (insufficient_spec),
end-to-end from a hand-authored must_haves.truths block (#1820 rail).

Refs #1905, epic #1904.

* chore(changeset): Fixed fragment for #1909 (backstop marker normalize)
