feat(producer): plan-time validator — reject system fonts

Part of Phase 2 of the distributed rendering plan (determinism hardening).
See DISTRIBUTED-RENDERING-PLAN.md §5.3 (Banned in distributed mode) and
§9.3 (typed non-retryable failures).

Extends packages/producer/src/services/render/planValidation.ts with:

  - validateNoSystemFonts(compiledHtml) — scans `font-family:` declarations
    and `data-font-family=…` attributes. If the PRIMARY family (first
    entry in the comma-separated list) resolves to a host-OS / CSS-generic
    family, throws PlanValidationError with code SYSTEM_FONT_USED.
  - parseFontFamilyValue(value) — pure helper that splits a font-family
    declaration value, stripping whitespace + quotes.

Banned primary families: sans-serif, serif, monospace, cursive, fantasy,
system-ui, ui-sans-serif, ui-serif, ui-monospace, emoji, math, fangsong,
-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont. Mirrors the GENERIC_FAMILIES list in
deterministicFonts.ts (deliberately a separate copy — they're two
different concerns that happen to overlap today).

Generic families remain acceptable as CSS fallbacks; only the primary
slot is rejected. `font-family: "Inter", -apple-system, sans-serif` is
fine; `font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont` is rejected.

No caller invokes the validator yet. Phase 3's `plan()` will run it on
the compiled HTML before freezing the plan, so chunk workers (Linux
containers without macOS / Windows system fonts) never see compositions
that would render differently between the controller and the workers.

In-process behavior is unchanged.

14 unit tests added to packages/producer/src/services/render/
planValidation.test.ts cover: clean compositions, missing font-family,
each banned primary family, data-font-family= surface, case-insensitive
matching, fallback acceptance, and parser edge cases.

This is part of a stack of 10 PRs; this is PR 9 of 10.
