M6: harden placed PDF layer variants (#1670)

Browse Source 
Integrate current main (d8d78851) without rewriting the contributor's commits, retaining craft-libs 9f75d3dc.

Accept literal null trailer entries while rejecting actual or ambiguous encryption/hybrid markers. Structurally inspect bounded xref/trailer history instead of adopting trailer-looking comments. Preflight all selected source variants before editing/undo; preserve reset-to-defaults. Suppress stale unrewritable canvas overrides rather than revealing source content. Keep conservative all-content crop fallback without overcropping layerless/null stubs.

Validation: cargo xtask ci, all 9 gates passed; 3062 tests passed, 6 skipped; all 16 WASM-safe crates checked. 17 supported variants passed independent qpdf, logical preservation and Poppler pixel checks; 6 unsupported/repair-only cases refused. Direct-harness Claude Opus 5 reviewed the exact main-relative delta with no blocking findings.

No native-format changes or unrelated layer features. Synthetic regression fixtures are generated in test code.

### 28. Placed-PDF font repair for PDF/X-4 (FF)
- **Missing:** embedding, substitution or outlining of unembedded fonts in placed PDFs; export
does not automatically embed or outline them.
- **Have:** PDF/X-4 export warnings and `validate-pdf` report unembedded fonts drawing visible
text, including inside placed PDF forms, with font names and pages (#909). Invisible text
(render mode 3) is exempt from this font-embedding check. A document-wide operation limit and a
form-nesting depth limit report incomplete font checks rather than traversing pathological
nesting.
- **Impact:** detection now ships, but a placed PDF with visible unembedded fonts still needs
font repair before it can meet PDF/X-4 requirements.

### 26. Autoflow fills the following pages before it adds pages (F)
- **Missing:** Shift-click autoflow (and autoflow on Place) always adds new pages after the
story's last frame, one margin-sized frame each. InDesign first threads a frame per column on
the existing pages that follow, then adds pages at the end of the document.
- **Impact:** autoflowing into a document that already has pages inserts new pages in the
middle of it instead of using the empty pages.
- **Estimate:** 4–8 h.
### 26. Autoflow flows into the primary text frame of the pages that follow (F)
- **Missing:** autoflow threads a frame per column on the pages that follow, then adds pages at
the end of the document, as InDesign does. On a page whose parent has a primary text frame it
still sets a new frame instead of flowing into the primary one.
- **Estimate:** 2–4 h.
