My own regression from the previous commit: the plate Border WRAPPED the bar's content and its
Visibility was bound to BarBackgroundEnabled — so with the plate off (the default) the preview
collapsed the entire social bar. Nothing was wrong with the data; the element was there and
invisible.
Fix: the wrapper is always laid out. "Plate off" now means a TRANSPARENT background
(`SocialBarBackgroundBrush` returns Transparent when disabled) and zero padding, "on" means the
colour/opacity plate with 18,6 padding — which also matches what the renderer bakes for the
output, so preview and broadcast agree.
Guard (new fact in SocialBarAppearanceTests): the preview must never visibility-gate the bar on
BarBackgroundEnabled, the wrapper must bind SocialBarBackgroundBrush, and the plate's switching
must be Padding.
