Description
## Description
The SVG importer does not respect a `clipPath` applied to a group. Content that should be cropped to the clipping shape is imported without clipping. follow up of #4329
## Steps to reproduce
1. Open `clip-path.svg` in a browser or another SVG viewer. It appears as a blue circle because a circle clips a larger square.
2. Import the same file into Graphite.
3. Compare the imported result with the browser rendering.
## Expected behavior
Only the circular portion of the blue square is visible, matching the SVG rendering in a browser.
## Actual behavior
The clipping path is ignored and the full blue square is visible.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with clip-path.svg, comparing its browser rendering with the imported result in Graphite. Trace the SVG importer’s handling of clipPath applied to a group, and verify completion when the imported artwork shows only the circular portion of the blue square, matching the SVG rendering.
