fix: Julia 1.12 CI floor ([sources] needs Pkg 1.11+); idempotent canonicalize_presentation (#76)

## Summary

Two follow-ups to #72 (squash-merged as 28505a5 with its first CI run
still red):

### 1. CI: the new Julia job needs Julia ≥ 1.11

The `krl-tests` job added in #72 installed Julia **1.10**, but
`server/Project.toml` resolves its unregistered sibling deps
(`KnotTheory.jl` / `Skein.jl` / `AcceleratorGate.jl`) through a
`[sources]` table — a **Pkg 1.11+** feature that 1.10 silently ignores.
`Pkg.instantiate` therefore fell back to a registry lookup and died with
`expected package KnotTheory [215268c9] to be registered` (observed on
#72's CI run). Local verification had run on 1.12.6, which is why it
passed there. CI now pins the 1.12 juliaup channel, with a comment
explaining the floor.

### 2. `canonicalize_presentation` was not idempotent

The single BFS-relabelling pass can change the very ordering it derived
labels from, so `blob(canonicalize(p)) ≠
blob(canonicalize(canonicalize(p)))` — **measured at 95/200 seeded BR-5
trials** once the upstream KnotTheory.jl PD-integrity bugs
(hyperpolymath/KnotTheory.jl#43) were fixed and the harness could see
real diagrams. A fingerprint that changes when you canonicalise twice
cannot serve as a semantic identity.

Fix: iterate the pass, detect the inevitable cycle of serialised states,
and return the **lexicographically minimal state on the cycle** — a
fixed point reached from every presentation in its orbit. Where the old
pass was already stable (the entire shipped test corpus), output is
unchanged, so stored fingerprints remain valid.

## Verification

BR-5 fuzz, 200 trials, against KnotTheory.jl with the #43 fixes applied:

| Suite | Result |
|---|---|
| presentation well-formedness | 6752/6752 pass |
| descriptor determinism | 800/800 pass |
| crossing-order invariance | 600 pass + 1 expected Broken (11/200
`quandle_key` residual → upstream KnotTheory.jl#42) |
| canonical-blob round-trip (incl. idempotency) | 600/600 pass — was
95/200 failing before the fix |

## Merge order

This PR is independent of KnotTheory.jl#43 (it validates against both
old and fixed KnotTheory — the idempotency fix only touches quandledb's
own layer). Once #43 merges upstream, the `@test_broken` R2 marker in
`test_quandle_axioms.jl` flips to "unexpected pass" by design; a
marker-removal PR follows then.
