4be440b501 Close six ways the textFormat scan reported success without checking
Each of these is a Text rendering external data with no textFormat, written in
a form that passed silently. None exists in this tree, so they were holes in
the guard rather than live exposures — but a guard is only worth what it
catches, and every one of them is a single line someone could plausibly write.

  Text /* why */ {          strip_noise knew // and not /* */, so a block
                            comment between the type name and its brace hid
                            the element from every rule at once
  QQ.Text { ... }           a namespaced import made the name compare unequal
                            to `Text`, and the element was skipped outright
  visible: textFormatEnabled  textFormat was matched as a substring, so a
                            lookalike property exempted the whole block
  component Info:           a component root with its Text on the next line;
    Text {                  the one-line form was covered and this was not
  an unreadable subdirectory  rglob() swallows a directory it cannot enter, so
                            a locked subtree scanned as though it were empty

The scan moves out of the heredoc into qml-text-format-scan.py, taking its root
as an argument, because nothing could run it over anything but the real tree —
and a scanner whose only input always passes cannot be shown to fail. The test
now runs it over nineteen fixtures, one per form above and one per form the
scan already handled, so a later edit that loosens it fails here instead of
going unnoticed until something renders a remote image.

Two limits stay open and are written down in the module docstring rather than
papered over: text assigned from elsewhere (a Binding element, PropertyChanges,
an onCompleted assignment, a property alias onto a child) is invisible to a
scanner that reads each element's own declaration, and a regex literal holding
a brace throws off the brace depth. Neither shape exists in this tree and both
need a QML parser, not another regex.

"""Report every QML Text that renders a non-literal value without a textFormat.
Usage: qml-text-format-scan.py ROOT (scans ROOT/shell, prints one line per
violation, exits 1 on an unreadable tree). Lives in its own file rather than a
heredoc so the test can run it over fixtures and prove it still fails when it
should — a guard nothing can fail is a guard nobody should trust.
Two limits are deliberate, because a line scanner cannot close them. It reads
each Text element's own declaration, so text assigned from somewhere else —
`Binding { target: label; property: "text" }`, `PropertyChanges`, a
`Component.onCompleted` assignment, a `property alias` onto a child's text —
is invisible to it. And a regex literal containing a brace throws off the brace
depth. Neither shape exists in this tree; both would need a QML parser.
