Fallback (ai_disabled, ai_error, invalid_json, ai_max_candidates_cap --
any candidate the AI never actually analyzed) now produces classification
'AI_FALLBACK', an explicit technical state that is never part of the
11-class enum sent to OpenAI (the AI itself can never legitimately return
it). Previously it silently claimed ACTIONABLE_NOW with confidence 0,
which made unanalyzed tickets indistinguishable from genuinely confirmed
ones at the classification-label level.
Also normalizes blocker_type/waiting_for when the model returns the
literal string "null"/"none"/"n/a"/"" instead of JSON null -- done
once, in the validation layer (logic/classification.js), not scattered
around the workflow.
