A page that asks for the keyless engine never silently gets the token-gated one

`const gl = engineGlobal(upgProvider) || window.mapboxgl` — and that fallback can
ONLY fire when the requested provider is 'maplibre' and MapLibre failed to load.
engineGlobal already resolves mapbox's own global for the mapbox case
(useMapInstance.js:115 falls back to ENGINES.mapbox.global only for an UNKNOWN
provider NAME, not for a missing engine). So the `||` silently handed MAPBOX to a
page that asked for the KEYLESS engine, breaking the keyless contract that
research-map.instances.json documents. Found by regions' C3 read, routed by
dx-shepherd (END-SHEP-C3C).

⚠ AND THE FALLBACK COULD NOT EVEN WORK. `gl.accessToken = token` a few lines below
is gated on `if (!isMaplibre)`, so a maplibre request that fell through to Mapbox
would get Mapbox WITHOUT a token — 401s on every tile instead of a legible
failure. Two defects in one expression: a silent engine switch, and a substitute
that was broken by construction.

THE FIX IS A DELETION, not a new path: the existing `if (!gl)` branch already
fails visibly and well — it sets status + mapError, calls
enrichLegendFromRecords() so the curated list and legend survive, and returns. It
just was not being reached. Removing the `||` lets it run.

MADE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSABLE while I was there. It said "The map engine did not
load" — true but useless: a reader could not tell whether the keyless engine they
asked for was even attempted, which is exactly the ambiguity a silent downgrade
creates. It now NAMES the engine, so a partner who set ?provider=maplibre and sees
"MapLibre did not load" knows their request was honoured and the script is the
problem. Plus a console.warn stating the refusal to substitute — the notice is for
the reader, the warn is for whoever is debugging the embed.
Both strings go through messages.* in eleven locales rather than adding to the
English-literal debt I cleared earlier this tick.

VERIFIED HEADLESS ACROSS BOTH PROVIDERS x THREE LOAD STATES, which is the mutation
test this needed: the ONLY behaviour that changes is provider=maplibre with
MapLibre absent, where old=MB (silent Mapbox) becomes new=undefined (the visible
failure path). mapbox/both, mapbox/only-mapbox, mapbox/none, maplibre/both and
maplibre/none are all byte-identical to before. So the fix is surgical rather than
a behaviour change dressed as a bugfix.
check:i18n-parity PASS. BUNDLE=my-upg-100-list vite build clean.
