fix(nodes,viewer): let empty and collapsed slabs build without throwing

[Aymericr]

What does this PR do?

Fixes B1 from the building-fidelity benchmark (plan item A-04): a slab whose renderable polygon collapses throws in buildSlabGeometry on every frame. The editor and /bake then never settle.

getRenderableSlabPolygon snaps slab edges to wall faces and sibling seams. A door-threshold floor strip about 0.11 m wide that lies inside a wall band seams onto the room floors on both sides, so both long edges project onto the wall centerline and the ring collapses to two points. generateSlabGeometry returns a geometry with no position attribute for that ring. splitSlabFacesByFacing then read position.count (nodes/src/slab/geometry.ts:121) and threw. The geometry system never reached clearDirty, so it rebuilt and threw again every frame, and it also skipped every dirty node after the slab in that frame. On the /next house, 14 slabs hit this.

• viewer (systems/slab/slab-system.tsx): the existing polygon.length < 3 guard becomes isCollapsedPolygon, which also catches rings with (near) zero area. It applies to the whole polygon and to each region left after hole cuts, for solid and recessed slabs, and to every hole ring. Before this, a zero-area ring with three or more points, or a sliver hole, still grew full-height wall fins.
• nodes (slab/geometry.ts): following the viewer guard, the builder counts triangles safely on an empty geometry, emits no mesh for a slot that has no triangles, and skips the terrain fill when the slab body is empty. A collapsed slab builds an empty group, the geometry system clears its dirty flag, and the scene settles. The slab node stays in the graph unchanged, and nothing about valid slabs changes.

House effect: native recall does not change, because the benchmark converter still filters these slabs. A-05 will remove that exclusion and measure the recovery.

The failing test was committed first (e422020): 6 of the 11 slab builder tests failed with TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'position.count') at geometry.ts:121. That includes the raw /next house strip: slab_floor-utility-2, wall_utility-east, and the two sibling floors.

How to test

1. bun test src/slab in packages/nodes: 44 pass. New cases cover empty, fewer than three points, zero area, the raw collapsed house strip, a hole covering the whole slab, an interior hole and valid slabs, plus repeated rebuild and disposal across collapse and recovery.
2. bun run test in packages/viewer: 368 pass. New viewer cases: a zero-area ring builds no side-wall fins (failed before the fix), a zero-area interior hole grows no hole-wall fins (failed before the fix: 40 triangles instead of 12, committed first in e50a0ff), and a hole covering the whole slab leaves no triangles.
3. bun run check: clean.

Proof

Check	Result
nodes src/slab	44 pass, 0 fail (before the fix: 5 pass, 6 fail)
viewer	src/systems/slab 8 pass, 0 fail (before the fix: both zero-area cases fail); full suite 368 pass, 0 fail
nodes full suite	3490 pass. The failures in that run were timeouts under machine load, in lean-to roof, gutter and hosting-audit files. Each passes alone: canopy-rendering-regression 250/0, roof-corner 24/0, gutter-corner-integration 59/0, unrenderable-host-audit 58/0 + 1/0 over 3 reruns
bun run check	Checked 2477 files, no fixes
bun run check-types	9/10 tasks pass. editor (apps/editor) fails only on the uninstalled git dependency @webxr/plugin in the private-editor worktree. That is environmental, and this PR does not touch the app

Browser proof: pending the M5 lock (critical-path reservation). I will add the editor settle and /bake receipts for the raw probe scene here.

Rules R1–R9

Rule	Check
R1	No API or schema change. def.geometry stays opaque. The slab builder returns an empty Group for a collapsed polygon, which the generic geometry system already handles
R2	Removes a per-frame throw and a permanent dirty loop. The added work is one O(n) area sum per ring. No new commits, caches or jobs
R3	Unaffected: no references or writers change. Slab node data is untouched
R4	Unaffected: zones and room detection read node polygons, not built meshes
R5	Unaffected: editing tools are unchanged, and a collapsed slab keeps its node, tree entry and 2D polygon
R6	Bake: the empty slab contributes no mesh, and the rest of the scene exports (see browser proof)
R7	Unaffected
R8	Unaffected: no agent tool or check surface changes
R9	Unaffected: capture/import is untouched

Screenshots / screen recording

N/A: this is a geometry robustness fix. The browser receipts for the raw probe are above.

Checklist

• I've tested this locally with bun dev (probe scene in the hosted editor and /bake, see proof)
• My code follows the existing code style (run bun check to verify)
• I've updated relevant documentation (if applicable). N/A here; the private wiki gotcha is updated with the private companion
• This PR targets the main branch
