feat(ui): classify code from the engine's own tree-sitter parse, retiring Shiki (CG-57)

The viewer ran a second highlighter over source the engine had already parsed
with a real grammar: Shiki, plus 56 pruned TextMate grammars shipped in
dist/textmate/. The classification now comes off that tree instead, so a file is
read by exactly the grammar that decided what its symbols are.

The swap is complete rather than flagged: @shikijs/core, @shikijs/engine-javascript
and @shikijs/langs are off the dependency list, scripts/prune-grammars.mjs and
`npm run build:textmate` are deleted, and check-ui-build.mjs asserts the
tree-sitter grammars in dist/extraction/wasm instead of dist/textmate.

The wire contract is unchanged — `[classId, text]` pairs with the class names
alongside — so the viewer's decoder and code blocks did not have to be rewritten.
Two classes are added to the six: `type` (a named type reference, painted at
plain ink) and `def` (the name a definition declares, weight 600), the latter
taken from the extractors' own definition tables so it cannot drift from what
indexing calls a definition.

Three differences are not cosmetic:

* Interpolations (`${…}`, `#{…}`, `$"{…}"`, f-strings) are classified as code,
  not as string. The call-site overlay refuses to claim a token classed string,
  so calls written inside interpolated strings now link.
* Built-in type words are emitted whole and classed `type` in every language.
  The grammars disagree about whether `string` is a type_identifier or an
  anonymous token inside a predefined_type, and TextMate scoped them
  inconsistently too.
* 3 000 lines of TypeScript cost 24-41 ms instead of ~700 ms.

Given up deliberately: Liquid, Razor, YAML, Twig, XML and .properties render
plain. .svelte/.vue/.astro are classified through their <script> blocks, the same
delegation the SFC extractors do. Pulling html/css/vue out of tree-sitter-wasms
would cover them, but those ABI-13 builds are the known cause of shared-WASM-heap
corruption for every other language in the same process.

Measured parity, per-language before/after screenshots and the reproduction
recipe: docs/design/cg57-highlighting-parity.md.
