Classify empty AI packet diagnostics

[chubes4]

Summary

• Record an AIStep diagnostic reason when the AI loop emits no downstream packets, without changing the existing terminal status semantics.
• Surface diagnostic outcome classes such as ai_required_handler_not_called, ai_handler_tool_failed, ai_empty_response, and ai_completion_assertions_missing through run metrics.
• Extend smoke coverage for metrics and handler handoff diagnostics.

Verification

• php tests/job-outcome-metrics-smoke.php
• php tests/upsert-handler-result-handoff-smoke.php
• php -l inc/Core/Steps/AI/AIStep.php && php -l inc/Core/RunMetrics.php && php -l tests/job-outcome-metrics-smoke.php && php -l tests/upsert-handler-result-handoff-smoke.php
• homeboy test --path /Users/chubes/Developer/data-machine@fix-ai-empty-packet-diagnostics --extension wordpress

Notes

• homeboy lint --path /Users/chubes/Developer/data-machine@fix-ai-empty-packet-diagnostics --extension wordpress still reports existing frontend/admin lint debt outside the modified PHP files.

AI assistance

• AI assistance: Yes
• Tool(s): OpenCode (GPT-5.5)
• Used for: Diagnosed live empty-packet metrics, drafted the diagnostic classification change and smoke coverage, and ran verification for Chris to review.
