Marc-André Bombeck 221960af88 fix(ai): ask a thinking model again when it answered with reasoning alone
Ollama serves thinking models such as Gemma 4 on /v1/chat/completions with
the thought in a separate `reasoning` field. A long briefing can come back
with empty `content`: the thought used the whole token budget, or the
answer itself was parsed into `reasoning`. The background briefing always
asks to reason, so every briefing on such a model ended in the empty-reply
sentinel, which the chain logged as status 0 / cause "network" in the same
second the server logged 200, and the read path showed as a timeout.

The Local client and the OpenAI-compatible gateway now treat a reply with
reasoning and no answer as a lesson: the endpoint and model are remembered
in the reasoning dialect cache as answering only unreasoned, the call is
asked once more with reasoning_effort "none", and later calls ask that way
until the lesson expires. A test drives the real client, safeFetch and the
pinned dispatcher against a loopback server that answers the way Ollama
serves Gemma 4, and reproduces the reported log line without the fix.

Failed hops now carry what the call ran into: `failure` (timeout, aborted,
refused, reset, socket, parse, empty_response, reasoning_only, ...) and a
code-shaped `code` on ai.chain.link_failed, closed vocabulary only. The
cause only says "timeout" for a deadline, and the briefing failure marker
records the kind so the empty state suggests a longer timeout only when
time ran out.

/**
* v1.7.0 — shared comprehensive-insight generator.
*
* The on-demand `POST /api/insights/generate` route and the nightly
* `insight-pregenerate` cron both need to run the same pipeline:
* resolve the provider chain → extract + compact features → build the
* strict prompt → run the completion with fallback → parse + cache the
* result. This module is that single source of truth so the briefing
* the cron pre-generates is byte-identical to what an on-demand
* regenerate would have produced.
*
* The route keeps its request-specific concerns (rate-limit gate,
* locale resolution from the request, audit-with-IP). The cron supplies
* its own budget gate (a per-user rate-limit bucket so a nightly
* fan-out across every user can never blow the LLM budget) before
* calling `generateComprehensiveInsight`.
*
* NO synchronous request lifecycle: the cron path runs entirely on
* pg-boss, never inside an HTTP handler.

// Outbound safety screen over the WHOLE prose surface.

// SURFACE POLICY — WITHHOLD. This payload is generated in the background and
// persisted as the cached insight; nobody is waiting on the turn. Unlike the
// number-grounding gate above, a safety violation cannot be surgically
// stripped: a dose imperative may sit in `recommendations[]`, in `summary`,
// or in the briefing, and deleting an arbitrary field would leave a payload
// whose remaining prose still refers to it. So the whole generation fails and
// persists NOTHING -- the previous cached payload stays, exactly as a
// provider outage or an unparseable response already behaves. The next run
// regenerates from scratch.
//
// v1.42 — one bounded repair before giving up, the way the grounding gate
// above gets one corrective retry. A withheld generation used to fail
// outright, and the nightly pass then queued its 45-minute provider retry,
// which asked the same model the same question and was screened again: on
// one account that was eight wasted generations a night over a single
// causal sentence. The repair names the contract that tripped and asks for
// the whole object again; the repaired payload has to pass the same JSON
// parse, the same number grounding and the same screen as a first pass, or
// nothing is persisted, exactly as before. A screened outcome is final for
// the caller: it is not a provider fault, so nothing retries it.
