Fix redundant Group boundaries while preserving native editability and presentation.

• Added guarded neutral-child absorption in WrapperCoalescer, preserving geometry, identity, runtime, and selector boundaries.
• Added a public-interface regression test verified to fail without the fix and pass with it.

Fixed observed PHP contract and fixed-box parity regressions, but whole-site acceptance still fails.

• Run inherited-text coalescing before neutral-child absorption.
• Preserve structural-layout, custom-property, typography, and unpadded wrapper boundaries.
• Added a public-interface regression assertion for consumed custom-property carriers.

Incomplete candidate; deterministic verification failed.

Task: #6131

incomplete_reason: Whole-site gate reports before=1 and after=1 for block_wrapper_heavy. No added blockers or visual regressions were measured, but the required occurrence reduction remains unresolved. Full CI success is unverified.

Added a spacing ownership guard, but the whole-site wrapper defect remains unresolved.

• Prevented neutral-child absorption when child spacing resets conflict with wrapper spacing.
• Added a public-interface regression test that fails before the guard and passes afterward.

Incomplete candidate; deterministic verification failed.

Task: #6131

incomplete_reason: The inherited head's diagnostic gate retained all three recorded occurrences and reported additional blockers. This focused safeguard does not resolve the whole-site wrapper count; candidate acceptance is unverified.

Added a focused safeguard, but the whole-site defect remains unresolved.

• Prevented neutral child border resets from erasing parent borders or radii during absorption.
• Extended the public-interface regression test; verified failure before the safeguard and success afterward.

Incomplete candidate; deterministic verification failed.

Task: #6131

incomplete_reason: Whole-site diagnostic acceptance failed: recorded occurrences remain 3→3, with additional blockers and privacy-policy visual regressions also present on the inherited head.

Fixed an absorption ownership bug, but the whole-site wrapper-heavy defect remains unresolved.

• Require the converted block to represent the neutral source child before absorption.
• Added a public-interface regression test for a styled descendant promoted through a neutral wrapper.

Incomplete candidate; deterministic verification failed.

Task: #6131

incomplete_reason: Local whole-site acceptance still reports own.before=3 and own.after=3, with added blockers and privacy-policy visual regressions. No acceptance pass is claimed.

Added a guarded absorption fix, but the whole-site wrapper-heavy defect remains unresolved.

• Preserved child typography and custom-property boundaries during neutral-child absorption.
• Added a public-interface regression verified to fail before the change and pass afterward.
