chore: update tests/release-demo.test.js for the caption pixel gate

The demo injected its caption CSS with page.addStyleTag(), which writes into the current document
only. The first page.reload() in the recording stripped that stylesheet, so every later caption
rendered as unstyled body text clipped at the bottom of the frame and every touch indicator was
invisible, while the caption receipt still listed each string and the release gate accepted it.

- caption and touch nodes now carry inline styles, which no reload can remove
- caption() proves each caption is a fixed bar at the top of the viewport, on top of what is
  beneath it, fully inside the frame, and that the caption band pixels change; the recording fails
  rather than shipping a caption nobody can read
- the receipt records per-caption evidence and build_release.py requires every required caption,
  including the release delta, to be pixel-verified
- the demo photo is a legible synthetic test card instead of a 1x1 white pixel that rendered on
  camera as an empty box
- tests assert the inline styling and the pixel gate

+# Vision corpus (issue #18)
+
+A committed, deterministic corpus that proves one claim on every run: **every reply Timmy receives is
+either a schema-valid visible-field suggestion or it fails closed.** Nothing is guessed, and a
+refusal never carries a form or a colour.
+
+## Licence and provenance
+
+- All fixtures are licensed **CC0-1.0**.
+- Every fixture is a synthetic image drawn from fixed integer math by
+  [`scripts/build_vision_corpus.py`](../../../scripts/build_vision_corpus.py). There is no camera, no
+  human subject, no third-party content, and no real medical imagery anywhere in this directory.
+- `manifest.json` records each fixture's `sha256`, byte length, provenance, licence, case class, the
+  provider reply it replays, and the outcome that reply must produce.
+- The hashes are an integrity receipt: `loadVisionCorpus()` refuses a fixture whose bytes no longer
+  match the manifest, so the corpus cannot be quietly edited into a different test.
+
+## Coverage
+
+| Case | Class | Replayed provider reply | Required outcome |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `stool-like-formed` | stool | valid suggestion, confidence 0.83 | `suggestion` |
+| `non-stool-scene` | non-stool | `isStool: false` | `abstained` (`not_stool`) |
+| `blur-low-detail` | blur | confidence 0.41 | `abstained` (`low_confidence`) |
+| `glare-overexposed` | glare | schema-valid with null form and colour | `abstained` (`unusable_visual_fields`) |
+| `empty-bowl` | empty-bowl | `isStool: false` | `abstained` (`not_stool`) |
+| `malformed-response` | malformed-response | plain prose, not JSON | `fail_closed` (`unparsable_content`) |
+| `out-of-range-fields` | malformed-response | Bristol 9, colour `purple`, confidence 0.9 | `fail_closed` (`out_of_range_or_missing_fields`) |
+| `blank-plus-out-of-range` | malformed-response | Bristol 9 with a `null` colour, confidence 0.9 | `fail_closed` (`out_of_range_or_missing_fields`) |
+
+Both out-of-range cases keep `confidence` inside the contract on purpose: at `1.4` the reply died at the
+confidence gate, so the `out_of_range_or_missing_fields` label was credited to a guard the case never
+reached. `blank-plus-out-of-range` covers the reply shape that the blank-first ordering used to abstain on
+(issue #73) — a filled-in field is a claim, and a claim outside the contract fails closed even when the
+other field came back blank.
+
+## Where the corpus is enforced
+
+- `tests/vision-corpus.test.js` — corpus contract, hash integrity, and conformance of every reply.
+- `tests/vision-boundary.test.js` — the corpus replayed through the real provider call path and
+  through a running `server.mjs`, asserting status codes and that no image bytes or credentials
+  appear in a fail-closed body.
+- `tests/vision-refusal.acceptance.mjs` — the same refusals in a real browser.
+- `scripts/record_release_demo.mjs` — the release demo replays corpus cases through the real analysis
+  code path, so the video shows the status the server would actually send.
+
+## Regenerating
+
+```bash
+python3 scripts/build_vision_corpus.py            # rewrite fixtures and manifest.json
+python3 scripts/build_vision_corpus.py --verify   # verify committed fixtures against the manifest
+```
+
+The release builder runs `--verify` before anything is packaged. Regenerate deliberately and commit
+the new hashes; never hand-edit a fixture or a recorded reply.
