Subject: [PATCH 1/3] test: make stable sort assertion non-vacuous

Resolves #857

The stable-sort test previously compared indexOf("go") against indexOf("rust") even though "go" never appeared in the emitted canonical display labels, so the ordering assertion could pass with -1.

This adds explicit presence checks for both canonical and unrecognized probes before comparing their relative order. No production code or skills taxonomy data changed.

Verified with:
- npm run verify
- npm run test -- --run src/lib/job-search/query-builder.test.ts

The complete suite has a pre-existing BroadcastChannel failure in src/hooks/useLibraryChanges.test.tsx that reproduces on untouched main.
