 * Shallow shape guard for the primitive remainder of a V3 element_config entry.
 *
 * Called after `V3_Non_Style_Allowlist` (key gate) and `V3_Dynamic_Hoister`
 * (splits dynamic shortcodes from primitives). Delegates to
 * `V3_Json_Schema_Builder::check_settings_shape()` — enforces only `type`,
 * `enum`, and one-level nested `properties.type` so the applier never merges
 * an array into a scalar field.
