fix(compiler): skip CSS var() in font resolver (#1655)

* fix(compiler): skip CSS var() in font resolver — fixes FONT_FETCH_FAILED on distributed renders

The font scanner treated `var(--ui-font)` as a literal font family name,
causing fail-closed distributed renders to throw FONT_FETCH_FAILED for
any composition using CSS custom properties in font-family declarations.

CSS var() expressions resolve at browser paint time, not at compile time.
The regex-based font scanner cannot resolve them statically — skip them
and let headless Chrome handle variable substitution during render.

Closes #1654

* test(regression): add distributed css-var-fonts fixture

Regression test for compositions that use CSS custom properties in
font-family declarations. Exercises the var() skip guard in
extractRequestedFontFamilies() under the distributed renderer's
fail-closed font resolution path.

Baseline needs to be generated on first CI run with --update.

* fix(compiler): address review feedback — mixed declaration test + validator TODO

Add unit test verifying concrete fonts alongside var() in mixed
declarations still get resolved (non-aggression pin).

Add TODO(#1654) in validateNoSystemFonts for the var()-as-primary gap
flagged by both reviewers.

* fix(test): correct stale 4xx fail-closed test expectations

The 4xx tests expected no throw, but that was the contract before #1255
added the system font capture path (Path 3). Post-#1255, a font that
gets 4xx from Google Fonts AND isn't a bundled alias AND has no system
font IS genuinely unresolvable — fail-closed mode should throw.

The 4xx distinction still matters at the fetch level (no retry, treated
as deterministic "not served"), but at the final unresolved check, a
completely unresolvable font must throw regardless of the HTTP status
that caused the Google Fonts path to return empty.

Updated tests to match the actual contract: 4xx + unresolvable = throw.
Also set allowSystemFontCapture: false to match how distributed renders
(plan.ts:799) actually call the function.
