Investigate timeline solver cycle and add trigger conflict validation

- Add trigger conflict validation in show.go to detect overlapping or
  mutually exclusive row constraints.
- Implement Trigger.String() for improved error reporting.
- Add detailed logging to timeline.go to trace iterative solver
  non-convergence and empty row optimization cycles.
- Extend mock show generator with experimental cross-track triggers.
