Asks the taxonomy seam for the icon to show next to a feature's TITLE on a
surface (the legacy "category icon before the title" behaviour), honouring the
per-surface render flags. Ensures the sprite when an icon resolves. Returns
the sprite symbolId (for <use href="#…">) or null — null (no icon) in
every case where the taxonomy seam is absent, the layer is unbound, no flag is
on, or nothing resolves, so a surface stays byte-identical until a profile opts in.
