privacy: scrub identifiers inside raw shell output

Running the Shizuku tier for the first time uploaded every MAC address on the
local network to the server at the balanced level - fourteen of them, router and
all. The probes embed raw command output verbatim (ip neigh, ip route), which is
good evidence and also a complete household device inventory, and the anonymizer
could not see it: classification is by field name and whole-value shape, and
ip_neigh is one long string that is itself neither a MAC nor an address.

measurement-schema.md flagged raw dumps as hard to anonymize and proposed
dropping them from exports. Scrubbing is better: identifiers inside unclassified
strings are replaced in place with the same pseudonyms used elsewhere, so a MAC
appearing in both a parsed field and a raw dump still reads as one device, and
the dump stays readable - neighbour-table shape, host count, RFC1918 addresses
and vendor prefixes all survive. Dropping it would have protected the same data
by destroying the reason for collecting it.

One pass, not three: sequential passes re-process their own output. Once a MAC
became 78:9a:18:xx:yy:zz the IPv6 pattern matched it - six hex groups separated
by colons is an address - and destroyed the vendor prefix the MAC rule had just
preserved. Ordered alternation resolves each position once, MAC first.

RealDocumentTest runs the anonymizer over a captured run when ECHOLOT_REAL_RUN
points at one and fails on any surviving MAC; it self-skips otherwise so no
one's network lands in the repo. Against the document that leaked: 14 in, 0 out.

Also: the Settings preview button did nothing, reading UiState.history which is
empty until the History screen has been opened - same root cause as the "0
run(s)" count. It reads the archive now, and says when there is nothing to show.
