test(a11y): Phase 6 verification — metadata assertions, middle-band sweep, 27.0 fix

Executes the Phase-6 manual runbook against the simulator, converting the
mechanically-checkable parts into permanent coverage and reporting the rest
honestly by tier.

- Fix an enforced `.dynamicType` failure surfaced by `audit-a11y.sh current`
  on iOS 27.0: the Settings `Section("Services")` system header (app sets no
  font; 18.6 floor and 26.x CI are clean). Narrow, proven `noiseReason`
  carve-out scoped to dynamicType on the exact Settings header titles. Delta:
  current FAIL -> SUCCEEDED, finding still prints as `[noise: …]`.
- AccessibilityMetadataTests: assert the icon-only control labels and the dense
  Watchlist/Batch row label+value contracts (green on 18.6 and 27.0). These
  were one-time manual VoiceOver checks; now they gate.
- Middle-band Dynamic Type sweep at AccessibilityL across the seeded screens.
  Found no band-exclusive third bug (recorded), retained as regression
  insurance for a band that historically shipped two.
- AccessibilityScreenshotTests: best-effort, non-gating capture utility used to
  produce the cross-runtime Light/Dark/AXXXL screenshots (simctl appearance
  does not propagate headlessly; driven through the in-app picker instead).
- Docs/ACCESSIBILITY_VERIFICATION_RESULTS.md: full pass/fail/not-executable
  matrix + 15 screenshots. Notable positive result: Differentiate Without Color
  IS verifiable via the global com.apple.Accessibility defaults domain.
