Implement EANCH-WP-0002 and EANCH-WP-0003 anchor hardening and DOM selectors

WP-0002: stale vs unresolved resolution, orphaned flag/helper, bounded
fuzzy quote recovery, and PdfViewerAdapter promotion with resolveSelectors
integration. WP-0003: DomSelectionCapture, DOM create/resolve ladder,
HtmlViewerAdapter under evidence-anchor/dom, and finished workplans.

Verification: 42 anchor tests, citation-evidence typecheck + 51 tests green.
