feat(catalog): 6 bucket refactors + new publisher-internal-diagnostic-hostname detector

Browse Source 
Post-run follow-up to the 2026-06-06-r01 stress test
(Output/2026-06-06-r01/gap-analysis.md). The catalog changes:

- C1: split 'activation' into 'ue-component-activation'
  (Unity component-lifecycle noise) and 'license-activation'
  (the real license-gate vocabulary). ANTI-TAMPER-TAXONOMY.md
  Pattern B now references license-activation.count. Eliminates
  the 615 FPs in P3R.exe's UE component vocabulary.
- C2: split 'fingerprint' into 'custom-fingerprint' (high-signal
  HW-fingerprint literals) and 'windows-com-api-name' (standard
  COM/typelib property names). Eliminates the 48 FPs in
  P3R.exe.
- C3: 'telemetry_leak' gets exclude_keywords for asian / Asian /
  Asia / albanian / Albanian / width / Width /
  East_Asian_Width / Caucasian_Albanian / stasianwidth /
  sesasianwidth. Eliminates the 13 Unicode-UCD FPs.
- C4: 'hwid' (seeded from hwid_apis.high_signal) gets
  exclude_keywords for cl /Zi /Fd, ossl_static.pdb,
  /Fdopenssl. Eliminates the OpenSSL-static-link FPs.
- C5: 'obfuscation' gets exclude_keywords for __TBB_, tbb::,
  C:\ci\builds\, C:/ci/builds/, C:\BuildBot\,
  /ci/builds/. Eliminates the 41 TBB / CI-build FPs in
  tbb12.dll.
- C6: anti_debug_indicators.checks[].confirmation: field
  added; enum 'string_only' / 'import_only' / 'requires_disasm' /
  'requires_xref'. The 4 byte-pattern checks (RDTSC, INT 2D,
  INT 3, exception-hooking) are now 'requires_disasm'.
  Catalog has the metadata; consumer-side wiring in
  re-drm-fingerprint is deferred.

- L1: new 'publisher-internal-diagnostic-hostname' leak
  detector in servers/re-leak-scan/src/re_leak_scan/patterns.py.
  Matches internal-TLD anchor (.internal, .corp, .lan, .local,
  .intra, .private, .home.arpa) + a diagnostic-product stem
  (jenkins, jira, grafana, prometheus, kibana, splunk, sentry,
  bitbucket, gerrit, artifactory, nexus, sonarqube, vault,
  consul, etcd, datadog, newrelic, pagerduty) so public
  hostnames like jenkins.io are correctly rejected. Risk: HIGH.
  Discovered in target-B's
  pers.exe::PASystemInfoScanner.SenderInfomation (a .NET WPF
  class that does a DNS lookup of a publisher-internal .io TLD
  staging relay and conditionally sends the un-hashed machine
  fingerprint to it).

- servers/re-lief/src/re_lief/categorizers.py: added
  load_excludes() (returns {category_name: [exclude, ...]}) +
  categorize() now honors the exclude list. Backward-compatible:
  existing call sites that don't add exclude_keywords: to their
  YAML entries see no behavior change. New YAML schema fields:
  exclude_keywords: (per category, optional) and
  confirmation: (per anti_debug_indicators.checks[] entry,
  optional).

Static-detectable patterns that suggest a binary is checking for
debuggers, emulators, or sandboxes. Each entry is a
detection signal and a static check.
Cycle 2 fix (C6, 2026-06-06): each check now carries a
`confirmation:` field that classifies the evidence level. The
categorizer (and downstream `re-drm-fingerprint`) only counts
a check if the confirmation is satisfied:
- `string_only` — the API name / signal name appearing in
the binary's string table is enough.
- `import_only` — the binary must import the API (link-time
IAT entry) for the check to fire. The string-table
presence alone is not enough (C++ symbol fragments like
`_Xlength_error` were the FPs that surfaced in the
2026-06-06-r01 stress test).
- `requires_disasm` — the byte-pattern check (RDTSC, INT 2D,
INT 3) must be backed by a disasm hit. The string-table
presence of "RDTSC" is meaningless; the `0F 31` opcode
at the call site is the evidence.
- `requires_xref` — manual / xref-based detection; the
automated categorizer cannot count these.
