C3D-0170 · Re-insert the title block and fill it for 260714 [PUT-TB-BACK] done

Re-inserts SS_BLOCK_11X17 into paper space at its original position 10.8150,0.2874 on layer BLOCK_TB2 and attaches every attribute from the updated definition with the job 260714 values, including the flood note fields carrying their connecting words. Idempotent - fills an existing insert rather than adding a second.

C# payload

// Re-insert the title block into paper space at its original position and fill every attribute
// for job 260714. The previous insert was erased; the definition is already the updated one
// (13 attribute definitions, including the flood note fields).
//
// Position 10.8150,0.2874 scale 1 rotation 0 - the coordinates the original insert occupied.
// Layer BLOCK_TB2, matching the original.
//
// Flood values carry the connecting words so panel / date / zone read as one sentence:
//   "...COMMUNITY PANEL NO. 13113C0155E, EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 26, 2008, AND LIES IN ZONE X."
//
// Idempotent: if an SS_BLOCK_11X17 reference already exists, this fills it rather than adding a
// second one.
