Subject: [PATCH] test(renderer): pin master-parity for malformed trailing-text
 table rows

Round-3 gate finding: the downstream table regex lacks an end-of-line anchor, so
it accepts a prefix that the physical-line guard rejects (e.g.
'| h<br>x | n |\n|---|---| trailing').

Measured against MASTER rather than against the intermediate commit: master does
not render that input as a table either, so the stage is at parity, not
regressed. Across the edge-case matrix (indented, CRLF, trailing-space, padded
separator, blank-line delimited, mid-document) the stage is equal to master on
the two malformed inputs and strictly better on six genuine tables.

Pinned as a regression so any future change to the table guard has to make a
deliberate decision about this input instead of changing it silently.
