feat: xp-ify BrightnessZeroth — fixes AdaptSplitZeroth under JAX

BrightnessZeroth's pixel_signals_from call dropped the xp backend (the same
bug class as the ExponentialKernel fix), raising TracerArrayConversionError
under jax.jit/jax.grad on every mesh — including through AdaptSplitZeroth,
whose zeroth leg routes through it. With xp threaded, AdaptSplitZeroth is
FD-certified on the KNN meshes (8.2e-8 max rel err, jit-consistent to
3e-16). Standalone BrightnessZeroth traces and differentiates but is a
supplement by design (weights vanish on high-signal pixels, leaving the
system singular alone) — documented in the docstring.
