Consolidate `extractText` and adopt the exported `textContent`

Two families of duplication, with different fixes.

AST side — six byte-identical copies. extractText(node: Node) is defined identically in packages/runes/src/tags/form.ts, plugins/places/src/tags/map.ts, plugins/design/src/tags/{palette,typography,spacing}.ts and plugins/marketing/src/tags/comparison.ts.

Renderable side — textContent is already exported and reimplemented anyway. @refrakt-md/runes exports it (seo.ts:23), and plugins/plan/src/pipeline.ts + plugins/storytelling/src/pipeline.ts define extractTextContent, while plugins/media/src/tags/track.ts defines a Tag-flavoured extractText.

Acceptance Criteria

extractText for AST nodes is defined once, exported from @refrakt-md/runes, and imported by all six former copies
plan, storytelling and media either import textContent or carry a comment stating why they keep a local variant
npm test passes unchanged
refrakt contracts --check and npm run seo:baseline:check report no drift

Approach

The AST side is a pure move — the six bodies are byte-identical, so a single export and six imports.

The renderable side is a behaviour change at each site, not a rename. The exported textContent ends with .trim(); the three local copies do not. Two places where that matters and must be checked individually:

plugins/plan/src/pipeline.ts — countCheckboxes regexes the result for [ ] / [x]. Trimming cannot change a count, so this is safe.
plugins/storytelling/src/pipeline.ts — feeds entity indexing; a trimmed key differs from an untrimmed one.
plugins/media/src/tags/track.ts — check what consumes the value before swapping.

Where trimming is wrong, keep the local variant and say why in a comment. A blanket swap is the failure mode here.

What was done

extractText(node: Node) added to packages/runes/src/lib/node.ts, exported via lib/index.ts and the package index; the six byte-identical copies (form, map, palette, typography, spacing, comparison) now import it.
plugins/plan/src/pipeline.ts, plugins/storytelling/src/pipeline.ts, plugins/media/src/tags/track.ts: local untrimmed helpers replaced by the exported textContent (storytelling's extractTextContent(node).trim() becomes textContent(node)).

Notes

Measured rather than reasoned: temporarily wrapped each local helper to log any call whose result differed from its trimmed form, then ran refrakt validate --deep on the main site (1,520 calls), on the real plan/ entities via a temporary contentDir swap (2,375 calls), and the plugin tests. The only differences were 4 whole-entity texts feeding countCheckboxes / extractIdReferences — trimming cannot change a count or a matched ID. No title, storytelling entity name or track name differed.
