fix(posting_guard): decode text spelled in invisible characters

clean_text removed zero-width, bidi, soft-hyphen and BOM characters,
but Unicode tag characters (U+E0000-E007F, which shadow ASCII one for
one) and runs of variation selectors (one byte each) went into the
cleaned text untouched. An instruction spelled in them renders as
nothing on the page or in the terminal and still reads as text to the
model, so the gate passed it as clean.

Both are now removed and counted. What a tag run or a selector run
spells is decoded into a new invisible_text finding, scanned like
hidden content (so instruction_like and hidden_urls see it), and
raises the verdict's warning. Emoji subdivision flags and a lone
variation selector are counted, not flagged. /apply's list of findings
to show gains the new one.

When it carries ⚠, also show the quoted findings (the removed hidden blocks, the instruction-like lines, the hidden URLs) and ask **"Continue with this posting?"** before anything else - the user decides; a flagged posting is never rejected automatically.
