refactor(words): close audit debt D1 (honest cast) + D2 (dedup image picker)

- D1 (soma) block-tree.ts:104 — replace `doc as never` (which disabled all
  type checking on the descend container) with `doc as unknown as {...}`, the
  honest cast that still asserts the permissive descend-node shape
  childStacks() reads.

- D2 (eidos) — extract the duplicated ~25-line "file picker → FileReader →
  data URL" flow (copy-pasted in words-block-gutter.svelte and
  words-block-panel.svelte) into a shared `pickImageFile(doc, onPick)` helper
  in words-image-file.ts. Both consumers now call it; zero inline FileReader
  blocks remain. Kept as a plain helper (not ActiveDom) — a transient
  <input type=file> + FileReader is not instrumented by active-dom, so a
  direct Document touch is correct; the caller resolves the right Document.

Gates: npm run check 1 error (pre-existing grafito, not Words) · words soma
452/452 · prettier clean.
