test(spec): the first system/ file group's test titles state each cited decision in words instead of a tracker number (stage 26)

Stage 26 of the spec lane's share of the runtime-string burn-down: the
test strings shipped under packages/spec/src, the first name-ordered
system/ group (auth-config.test.ts through
metadata-form-declared-rows.pin.test.ts, with
constants/system-names.test.ts in its path position).

91 literals in 18 files (83 test titles and 8 declared expect messages)
lose 97 tracker ids: 23 literals now state the cited decision in words,
11 get their subject back in words, and 57 drop a number the title
already explains. No needle sits in this group.

Text only: one line per literal, no assertion, identifier, test count,
code comment or file name changes.
