Task #351: Match Executive Meetings PDF to user's reference layout

User compared the rendered PDF against their reference (rrr1) and flagged
three concrete differences. This change addresses all three:

1. Time format — formatTimeRange now joins start/end with U+2011
   NON-BREAKING HYPHEN (no surrounding spaces): "9:40‑9:50" instead of
   "9:40 – 9:50". The non-breaking hyphen looks identical to ASCII "-"
   and prevents PDFKit from wrapping the range across two lines in the
   narrow Time column.

2. Date placement — removed the ISO date that was printed under the
   header title. Added a new bottom-aligned footer block on the leading
   edge (right for AR, left for EN) that prints:
     • "مقيد" / "Recorded by" (bold)
     • Long-form date "3 May 2026" (always Latin, English month name
       even on the AR PDF, mirroring the reference)
   The date row is forced to baseDirection="ltr" so RTL bidi doesn't
   visually reorder the runs into "May 2026 3" on the AR PDF.
   formatLongDate parses the ISO route param in UTC to avoid host-tz
   day drift. The footer is extracted into a drawFooter() helper and
   called in BOTH the empty-day and populated-day code paths so it
   always renders.

3. Title weight — title was already calling drawMixedLine with
   weight:"bold" but added explicit confirmation; column proportions
   tweaked (6/36/39/19) so the wider Time column doesn't force range
   wrapping while keeping enough room for Meeting/Attendees content.

Other touches:
- Added `recordedBy` to PdfLabels type + RenderPdfInput.labels type
  and to ar.json/en.json executiveMeetings.pdf blocks.
- Page-break check reserves footer height so the last row never
  overlaps the bottom footer.

Verified: PDF Arabic shaping regression test passes; live AR/EN PDFs
match the reference; one-page-fit still holds for typical days.
Pre-existing tsc errors in executive-meetings.ts and unrelated test
suite failures are not caused by this work.
