Subject: [PATCH] [eric] browser: broaden compose-trigger vocabulary
 (create/new-thread/start-a-thread variants)

The reveal opener regex only matched 'create a post', missing bare 'Create' and 'New thread' / 'Start a thread' buttons that real compose surfaces use. Adds those; safe by construction (a broadened trigger can never produce a false success, a fill against a real composer is still required, so a trigger that opens a signup/join upsell instead of a composer yields found:false). Validated CDP-direct: LinkedIn-post and YouTube-comment still flip (no regression), and Threads (which gates posting behind a 'Join Threads' upsell for this session) correctly does NOT false-fill
