T9.5 - C1+S8: the help-tip is real, the audit is written, BL-001 is dead

S8, finished where the plan said it would be: every .help-tip badge is a
<button> - upgraded by the component itself at load (help.js), with
helpTipUpgrade() for late renders, so a badge added tomorrow is born
reachable. The count the task warned about came true: 15 at wave 0, 18 at the
wave 6 exit, 20 at the start of this task - all 20 buttons now, and the fix
being in the component is what stops the number growing again. One
viewport-clamped role=tooltip bubble serves every badge: focus shows it,
Escape hides it, tap toggles it, tap-elsewhere closes it - the touch path
Field View's tablets never had. The injected styles now use theme tokens
(four raw hexes of the S5 kind, gone).

BL-001, CLOSED after three causes and nine waves: the old CSS ::after escaped
its badge to the right and was the creator's last 390px overflow. The clamped
bubble ends it - scrollWidth 390 vs clientWidth 390 - and frame_check's pin
FLIPPED, exactly as designed: it asserted the failure until the fix landed,
and now asserts the fix so a regression reopens the entry loudly.

The audit (docs/reference/accessibility-audit.md), every number probe-backed:
- div/span click handlers: 12/2 at wave 0 -> 0 (the wizard's constraint
  library entries and the dashboard chips became buttons here; the comments
  backdrop stopped pretending to be a control)
- outline:none without replacement: 0 (wp-chrome's one is the documented S12
  exception - its ring is on :focus-within, one ring not two)
- aria-live: every toast system and banner announces
- native dialogs: 79 -> 21, all on surfaces no S1 task named (admin, users,
  launcher) - documented as BL-024 with the T7.9 kit ready for them
- keyboard-only primary flow: covered leg by leg by the probes that dispatch
  real CDP key events, cited in the document

Three stale count-pins re-pointed to the numbers this task reached (stepper's
baseline-minus-10, form_structure's one-span-left, frame_check's BL-001 pin) -
each now pins the TARGET so slack cannot hide a regression.

Verification (each probe run alone): NEW tests/helptip_check.py 13/13.
Regressions: a11y_check 22/22, stepper_check 71/71, form_structure_check
50/51 (BL-022's product question), pipeline_check 44/44, frame_check 38/38.

Items: C1, S8 (BL-001 closed, BL-024 opened)
