fix(generate_features): forbid 'multi-tenant building' boilerplate in headlines

The prompt was injecting the literal phrase 'multi-tenant building' into
the user message, and qwen3:14b was dutifully reusing it — 36/167 (22%) of
all generated headlines opened with that phrase. Reframed the building
context as quiet body color, added explicit ban list with sibling
phrasings, and re-flagged the 36 polluted rows back to draft for regen.

Also commits the audit-tabs.cjs Playwright sweep and migration 020 that
unblocked the /pitches.html query (column p.website does not exist).

Caught by the auto_dedupe_headlines trigram report (top cluster
'multi tenant building' 36×). Tick-25 yolo loop.
