Root cause of the recurring Alan Campbell wallcovering->fabric re-sweep (4th in 8 days):
buildSampleOnlyInput() hardcoded 'Wallcoverings' in the title (L465) and 'designer
wallcovering' in the desc fallback (L483), ignoring cfg.productType. Now type-aware
(mirrors the roll path) + scrubs wallcovering->fabric prose out of AI/vendor_desc for
Fabric lines. Fixes all Quadrille-house sample-only fabric lines at birth.
