test: a probe reads the hidden tab's accumulator, and the docs follow the tabs

`UDPSCOPE_PROBE_SIDE_TAB_MS` is the one reading for the design's §5 rule -- the statistics
accumulator keeps running on the hidden page -- which nothing tested before. It switches to
Measure, forces one pass so there is a baseline, switches away to Signals and reads again two
seconds later: `advanced=4` is the assertion, and `advanced=0` is the defect where the
accumulation is gated on the visible tab, which would leave a gap in min/max/avg for exactly as
long as the trigger was on screen.

Two things the probe has to do for itself, and getting either wrong makes `advanced=0` a lie
about the tab:

- it **enables its own signal**, because a signal starts disabled (enabling is what starts
  acquisition) and a probe that waited for one to be on would be reading another probe's side
  effects -- and `UDPSCOPE_ENABLE_ALL_MS` is not part of this run;
- it **assigns that channel to a plot**, because a channel with no trace leaves the live window
  *still*, and a still window is precisely the state `update_measures()` is supposed to skip.
  Measured the hard way: without the assignment the probe read `advanced=0 min_n=0` with the view
  pinned and only four passes in twelve seconds, none of them the tab's doing.

Docs: `probe-readings.md` gains the probe's entry and the signals panel's new shape
(`rows == signals + 1 + math`, `divider=0` a list that lost its `+`), loses the whole `math
panel:` entry, and follows `pane_sensitive=`, the gone `revealed=` field, the six toolbar
controls and the tab-reading `m`/`g` key pairs. `verification.md` gains the probe's bullet and
the re-measured warning figures. The invariants record the sidebar as a switcher above a stack
with a scroller per page, the hidden-page trap that replaces the unrevealed-revealer one for it,
that a feature's on/off is sensitivity rather than visibility, that a math channel is a row of
the signal list, and that a cursors-off readout blanks to `--` with the panel left on screen.
`shortcuts.ui` and the help page's window and sidebar bullets stop describing five revealers.
The README records the deviation from `SPECS.md` that names the panes as separate collapsible
sections.

Verified: `[side-tab-probe] page=signals rows=4 accums=4 advanced=4 min_n=16`;
`signals panel: labels=2 list=1 rows=9 signals=4 math=4 divider=1`; `panels: … (page_current=1)
(sensitive=0) switcher=1`; `toolbar icons:` six controls with every name `(ok)`, with the
Preferences dialog opened in the same run; zero `Gtk-CRITICAL` and no missing icon.

instead of across. `gtk_widget_set_visible()` is what a layout honours, so anything that must not
take room has to be hidden and not merely unrevealed; the revealer keeps the slide while the pane
*is* open. The allocated width is how this was found -- the revealer's own measure said 0.
**The sidebar is a tab stack now, and has no `GtkRevealer` left in it**: an `AdwViewSwitcher`
above an `AdwViewStack`, each page a `GtkScrolledWindow` of its own (the two pages are different
heights, so one shared scroller would leave a switch scrolled where the new page never asked to
be). The reason is the one this trap teaches: five sections competing for one 320 px column left
every one of them short of room. A *feature's* on/off is no longer a visibility at all -- the
trigger's and the cursors' toggles set their panel's **sensitivity**, so the panel stays where it
is and the settings you are about to switch back on do not vanish while you look for them. The
trap itself does not go away with the widget: a stack's hidden page measures 0x0 too and is still
given the leftover width, so **ask about state, not about size** carries over unchanged. Every
allocation read in the sidebar is a debug capture, and each reads 0 on the page that is *not*
current -- a change in what the reading means, not a defect, and no functional code may depend on
those numbers.
