vh 190a75a0e1 fix(docs): a posted doc cannot run script on the Booth's origin
Found by design-dev's impeccable run and confirmed at source. Python-Markdown
passes raw HTML through, and doc.html and booth.html render the result |safe.
A <script> in any session's .md ran on the Booth's origin, and a contract that
quoted <pre> opened a real one and swallowed the rest of the doc.

Operator ruling: escape raw HTML (not an allowlist).
- render_doc deregisters Python-Markdown's block and inline HTML processors,
  so raw HTML reaches the serializer as text and is escaped there. Fenced and
  inline code are unchanged.
- Every link href in a doc goes through links.is_safe_href after
  browser-style decoding. Python-Markdown keeps character references in
  attributes, so `java&#115;cript:` reached the browser as `javascript:`.
- is_safe_href reads a backslash as a slash, as a browser does in an http(s)
  URL: `/\evil.test` is `//evil.test`. This also closes the hole on the
  link board.
- A render that raises falls back to raw text, which the template escapes.

Two of 19 live .md files render differently. One is a contract losing the
quoted <pre> that swallowed it. The other is links.md, which renders as a
board, not through render_doc.

heid bug-hunt panel (4/4): the core claim held. Its two concrete edges (the
backslash twin, the unbounded render) are fixed here. Table
tests/mutations/doc_html.toml: 9/9 proved. Suite 951 -> 975.

# A posted doc cannot run code (2026-09-28). design-dev's impeccable run found
# raw HTML passing through Python-Markdown into a `|safe` render; operator
# ruling: ESCAPE it. Found while fixing it: markdown link hrefs, where an
# entity-encoded `java&#115;cript:` passes any scheme test that does not decode
# it first. Every row is a change tests/test_items.py claims to forbid.
#
# NOT here, on purpose: the tab/CR/LF drop and the C0 trim in `_browser_href`.
# Python 3.13's urlsplit, under `is_safe_href`, drops the same characters, so no
# test can see them go. They stay as a statement of browser semantics, and are
# not claimed as proven falsifiers.
