v1.3.0: Streamed top-K decision-tree plans + priority-aware ceiling

Fixes the bug where a specialization could show "Achievable" while no
per-set ceiling cell surfaces a path to it. Reproduction: pin SP2=Business
of Health & Medical Care, SP4=Foundations of Fintech, SP5=Corporate Finance,
SE1=GIE; rank HCR first. Healthcare showed Achievable but every ceiling
cell excluded HCR.

Root cause: computeCeiling used strict > on count alone, so the first
equal-count combination found won permanently and HCR-including outcomes
were never recorded.

Changes:

- Replace per-(set, choice) computeCeiling loop with a single full-tree
  searchDecisionTree DFS. Both the per-set ceiling table and a new ranked
  top-K plan list (default K=10) are populated from one enumeration.
- Comparison rule everywhere is (count desc, priority score desc,
  deterministic-tiebreak). priorityScore extracted from optimizer.ts
  into a shared priority.ts module used by both call sites.
- Heuristic enumeration ordering: select the first reachable ranked spec
  as priorityTarget; reorder DFS children at every level so target-
  qualifying courses are tried first. High-priority outcomes surface in
  early iterations instead of being blocked by less-relevant equal-count
  results.
- Bounded search: terminate on saturation (top-K stable for 500
  iterations) or hard cap (10000 iterations); set partial=true if cap
  hit. Mitigates the worst-case enumeration cost.
- Worker protocol: tagged-union response with topKUpdate, choiceUpdate
  (per-cell, replaces per-set setComplete), and allComplete events.
- App state adds topPlans/topPlansPartial slices and an adoptPlan action
  that pins a plan's full course assignment in one click. Also fixes
  loadState's stale "ranking.length !== 14" check (now uses
  SPECIALIZATIONS.length so HCR-era saved state restores correctly).
- New TopPlans component renders the ranked list with adopt buttons,
  placed above CourseSelection in the right column.
- 17 new tests in searchDecisionTree.test.ts covering priority scoring,
  bounded ranked list, comparison rule, target selection, the user's
  reproduction scenario, streaming monotonicity, saturation termination,
  and a performance smoke test (< 5s for the 8-open-set case).
- Existing decisionTree.test.ts: one test amended for per-cell streaming
  semantics; remaining 3 unchanged and passing.
