fix: preview-truth CSS supersession + cascade ordering on Svelte accept

Field failure from a real Codex session: accepting a variant into
Pitch.svelte appended 23 selectors and removed none, so the source's old
.decisions grid rules re-attached through the kept root class and forced
the accepted board into a stale three-column layout; some appended base
rules also landed after the source's media block, weakening the mobile
cascade.

Two mechanical fixes:
- Preview truth: the scaffolder records the seeded selectors (the source
  rules that styled the replaced selection, which the isolated preview
  never applied). On accept, any seeded selector the variant does not
  re-declare is removed; the selector-loss postcondition treats those
  removals like compiler prunes. A regression test reproduces the exact
  Pitch shape end to end.
- Cascade order: reconciliation inserts new base rules BEFORE existing
  top-level media blocks instead of appending after them.

Init-latency reductions from the same transcript:
- live.mjs inlines the resolved surface brief (removes three
  surface-brief.mjs round-trips including a --help miss before first poll).
- The wrap/scaffold payload carries componentStubMarkup, and live.md
  instructs editing stubs in place (the session read the manifest + stub
  back and then deleted/recreated the files).
- live.md notes that a busy default port usually means the dev server is
  already running (the session spawned a duplicate).

This work was produced with AI assistance (Claude Code).
