Subject: [PATCH] fix(qa): floor verification finds a contact's model by its
 icao24

getNearby returns the contact's label as `id` (the callsign when it has
one) and its key as `icao24`; the drawn rows are keyed by icao24, so the
model lookup missed and every contact was measured at its sprite. Under a
3D model that sprite is hidden and keeps the pre-floor height by design
(T7): the "buried at -27 m" contacts on Cesium (the geoid at AUS) were
those hidden sprites, at HEAD and on 7c7422e2, whose script measured every
sprite. The Cesium report also gives each contact's model state and the
floor cell the layer reads.

AUS, 100 s after enabling flights, both engines: 3 low contacts, 0 buried;
N3752 / DAL848 drawn by their models at 130.2 / 135.4 m over a 123.5 /
128.6 m mesh, the DEM-prior cell warm (123.5 / 128.6 m).
