bert.hausmans a791a276fa fix(form-builder): canonicalize JSON for byte-stable storage (WS-6)
MySQL 8.0 JSON columns may reorder associative-array keys on
round-trip. For audit-immutable values (schema snapshots, webhook
payloads, activity log diffs), this is corrupting: re-emits produce
different byte sequences for the same logical content.

Introduced JsonCanonicalizer (recursive ksort on associative arrays;
numeric-indexed lists preserve order) and applied at every writer
site that produces byte-stable JSON:

- FormSubmissionService: canonicalize the schema_snapshot array
  before storage (audit-immutable per ARCH §4.3, RFC-WS-6 v1.1).
- FormField::logFieldChange / FormSchema::logSchemaChange: canonicalize
  activity-log properties before withProperties() so old/new diffs
  read back byte-stable.
- BindingActivityLogger: canonicalize both the pass-level and
  per-binding activity properties.
- FormWebhookDispatcher: canonicalize payload_snapshot before
  storage (delivery-time HMAC re-encodes the same canonical bytes).
- DeliverFormWebhookJob: switched json_encode to
  JsonCanonicalizer::encode for the HMAC-signed body, so the
  signature is byte-stable across re-deliveries and reproducible by
  receivers from the same logical payload.

Sites NOT canonicalized (deliberate):
- form_schemas.settings — opaque UI config; key order has no
  semantic meaning, no byte-stability requirement.
- form_schemas.translations / form_fields.translations — read by
  display layer; key order doesn't matter.
- form_templates.schema_snapshot — user-supplied input via store/
  update; user is the source of truth, not audit-immutable in the
  same way as form_submissions.schema_snapshot.

Reverted the 7 assertEquals workarounds from session 2.6:
- ConditionalLogicActivityLogPayloadTest
- ConditionalLogicBackfillTest::test_rollback_reconstructs_canonical_json
- FormFieldBindingMigrationTest::test_rollback_reconstructs_json_and_drops_table
- FormFieldOptionServiceAndScopeTest::test_replace_options_emits_activity_log_on_field_only
- FormFieldOptionsActivityLogTest::test_field_updated_payload_contains_options_diff_when_options_change
- FormFieldOptionsBackfillTest::test_forward_migration_backfills_rows_strips_translations_and_rewrites_snapshot
- FormFieldOptionsSnapshotAndStrictRequestTest::test_submission_snapshot_embeds_rich_shape_options

Each now uses assertSame on JsonCanonicalizer::encode of both sides —
byte-stable comparison meaningful regardless of MySQL JSON storage
behavior.

New regression test SchemaSnapshotByteStableAcrossReemitsTest
exercises the contract end-to-end: complex schema with bindings,
validation rules, options, conditional logic, submitted; reads
schema_snapshot via three roads (Eloquent cast, fresh model, raw
bytes) and asserts the canonical encode is identical.

ARCH-FORM-BUILDER.md §4.6.1 gets a "Byte-stability" sub-section
explaining what's canonicalized and why.

Test count: 1388 → 1400 (+11 JsonCanonicalizer unit, +1 snapshot
regression). Larastan clean. Rector dry-run unchanged at 355.
