C3D-260619-CLERKBOX · Redline 3 - clerk recording box error

Adds the 3in x 3in blank clerk-of-court recording box in the upper-left of 22X17 C per OCGA 15-6-67(c)(1)(B), with the caption placed outside the box so the reserved area stays clear. Layer C-ANNO-CLERK.

C# payload

// REDLINE #3 - 3" x 3" clerk of court recording box, upper-left corner.
// O.C.G.A. 15-6-67(c)(1)(B) requires a blank 3x3 inch space in the upper left for the clerk's
// recording information. Sheet is 22x17; title block border runs (0.25,0.26)-(21.75,16.74), so
// the box is inset just inside it. Upper-left of the sheet is empty - the cert stack starts at
// x=11.56 and the scale bar sits at y<1.0.
// Drawn as a closed Polyline + a small caption, on a dedicated layer so it can be toggled.
// Host owns Tx; host regens after commit.
