ci(perf): enforce the journey counters stable on master (#1829)

* ci(perf): enforce the journey counters stable on master

Promote the J1, J2 and J3 counters that were identical in all 55 measured
iterations of the 11 master runs from 2026-10-03 to 2026-10-04 to
journey-baselines.json, and check them in the Performance journeys job
(still warn-only), in one step together with #1828's two validated J1
entries. None of the new ones has Principle 3 evidence, so each carries a
"guard only, not validated" note that the checker prints with a failure.
A performance-tools test keeps the job's --only list equal to the journey
entries. Number formatting uses three decimals, the precision of the
layout-shift scores.

J2 renderer.layoutShiftScore is 0.233, not the window's 0.222: every
master run from #1814 (page Back buttons in the header) on reads 0.233.

* ci(perf): check the journey counters whenever a summary was written

Review follow-up (Greptile): the check ran only after the composite
action succeeded, so a failed job-summary report after a written
summary.json skipped every baseline. It now runs unless the job was
cancelled, as long as the action produced a summary path.
