content: add 4 Ireland canons (banking/legal/policy/disaster); re-verify 3 aging canons

[dbwls99706]

Gap filled

Ireland (ie) was tied for the lowest country-canon count (5) among
SUPPORTED_COUNTRIES not already claimed by an in-flight PR (gr and fi
are both being worked in open PRs #181 and #179 — confirmed via
get_files on both before picking a target). Existing ie canons only
covered communication, emergency, medical, and safety — this PR adds
four new domains untouched for Ireland: banking, legal, policy, and
disaster.

Canons added

• banking/proof-of-address-required-not-ppsn/ie — Irish banks require
  photo ID plus a proof-of-address document dated within 6 months; a PPS
  Number (or its allocation letter) is not itself accepted as address proof
  and is not a legal requirement to open a standard account, contrary to the
  "you need a tax/ID number to bank" pattern seen in several other European
  countries in this dataset.
• legal/no-statutory-right-to-roam/ie — Ireland has no right-to-roam
  law like Scotland's Land Reform Act 2003 or Nordic allemansrätt; access
  to private land is at the landowner's discretion and most walking trails
  are permissive routes, not legal rights of way.
• policy/pps-number-in-person-appointment-required/ie — Getting a PPS
  Number requires a mandatory in-person appointment (no walk-in, no fully
  remote route); separately, starting work with no PPSN given to an
  employer triggers immediate 40% emergency tax (not the softer 4-week
  grace band, which only applies once a PPSN has been supplied).
• disaster/weather-warning-no-automatic-closure/ie — A Met Éireann
  Status Orange/Red warning is not itself an automatic trigger for school,
  transport, or workplace closures; those are separate, case-by-case
  decisions announced by the Department of Education, operators, or the
  National Emergency Coordination Group.

Each was checked against existing Ireland entries and other domains to
confirm it documents a genuinely different dead end (not a restatement of
communication/eu-roaming-like-at-home/ie, emergency/112-eu-emergency/ie,
medical/ehic-non-eu-ineligible/ie, etc.).

Sources used

• AIB personal identification requirements + non-resident identification
  requirements (aib.ie)
• Citizens Information: walking and rambling in Ireland; rights of way;
  severe weather (citizensinformation.ie — a statutory state body)
• gov.ie: Get a PPS Number (Dept. of Social Protection); Dept. of Education
  press release on school closures under Orange/Red warnings
• mywelfare.ie: PPS Number identity service
• Revenue.ie: Emergency Tax rules; getting off Emergency Tax

Re-verified aging canons (this cycle's reverify --seed ie bucket)

• cuda/illegal-memory-access/cuda12-a100 — sources re-read; the
  cuda-memcheck doc URL now 404s because CUDA-MEMCHECK was deprecated in
  CUDA 11.6 and removed in CUDA 12.0+ (confirmed via NVIDIA forums/archived
  docs). Replaced with the current canonical compute-sanitizer docs, the
  official drop-in replacement. last_confirmed/last_updated/
  last_verification bumped.
• java/log4j-config-error/jdk17-linux — both dead_ends[].sources pointed
  to the generic Oracle JDK 21 API index page, which does not mention Log4j
  at all and never supported the claims. Replaced with the actual primary
  source, Apache's official Log4j2 configuration manual
  (logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/configuration.html), which does
  confirm classpath auto-discovery of log4j2.xml and that Log4j 1.x config
  files are ignored by Log4j 2 by default. Content claims still hold; only
  the citation was wrong. Dates bumped.
• kubernetes/k8s-configmap-too-large/k8s129-linux — both
  kubernetes.io sources re-read and confirmed current/live (1 MiB
  ConfigMap limit and PersistentVolume docs both still say what the canon
  claims). No content change; dates bumped.

Claim scan (generator.reverify --seed ie) was clean (not INCOMPLETE) both
before authoring and again immediately before commit; no overlap with the
canon IDs touched by the 8 other pushed branches it excluded.

Validation

• ruff check generator/ tests/ — clean
• python -m pytest tests/ -q — 369 passed
• python -m generator.validate --data-only — passed (only pre-existing
  aging warnings, 956 total, unrelated to this PR)
• python -m generator.build_site — built cleanly
• python -m generator.validate --site-only — passed
