feat(libsy): populate bounded outcome evidence

[nachiketb-nvidia]

What

Populate RoutingOutcome.metadata.evidence with bounded, algorithm-produced JSON for built-in libsy routing decisions.

Closes SWITCH-1418.

Why

Outcome metadata already identifies the run and algorithm, but a string cannot represent structured decision evidence without another encoding layer. Built-in algorithms also need to expose the small set of facts that actually determined a route without leaking prompts, responses, raw errors, or arbitrary internal state.

How

• Change evidence from Option<String> to Option<serde_json::Value>.
• Keep evidence run-scoped in the private driver state; each run_stream invocation owns an independent slot.
• Record only decision-defining fields:
  • capability classifier score and threshold
  • stage source, plus confidence and threshold when dimension scoring decides
  • advisor and escalation verdicts
  • bounded fail-open reason codes
  • retained, fall-open, and subagent source labels
• Keep random, passthrough, noop, and successful opaque custom decisions empty because the algorithm name or selected model already describes them.
• Preserve evidence from the deciding component across fallback classifiers.

What to review

• Whether each source and verdict describes the component that made the final decision.
• Whether the JSON remains bounded and contains no request-derived text.
• The private per-run evidence handoff and last-decision-wins behavior within one cascade.

Validation

• cargo fmt --all -- --check
• cargo clippy -p switchyard-libsy --all-targets -- -D warnings
• cargo test -p switchyard-libsy (282 passed)
• cargo check -p switchyard-llm-client -p switchyard-server -p switchyard-py

One existing top-level driver test now covers structured evidence attachment and fallback precedence; no algorithm-specific test matrix was added.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added structured decision evidence to outcomes, including routing sources, confidence, thresholds, verdicts, and fallback paths.
  • Outcomes now record whether decisions came from retained assignments, classifiers, subagents, escalation handling, or fail-open processing.
  • Added standardized reason details for consultation failures and unparseable responses.
  • Evidence is preserved across processing stages and included in completed outcome metadata.

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved visibility into escalation and fallback decisions, including why a review was refunded or deferred.

Walkthrough

The change adds structured JSON evidence to driver decisions and outcome metadata. Classifier, judge, advisor, escalation, retained-tier, subagent, and fail-open paths now record routing sources, verdicts, thresholds, and failure reasons.

Changes

Routing evidence

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Evidence storage and metadata contract crates/libsy/src/core/algorithm.rs, crates/libsy/src/core/outcome_metadata.rs	Driver stores shared JSON evidence and transfers it to OutcomeMetadata when a run finishes. Tests verify first-writer behavior and the stored payload.
Judge evidence generation crates/libsy/src/algorithms/util/llm_judge.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms/llm_class.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms/util/escalation.rs	Judge classifiers support evidence callbacks for verdicts, thresholds, escalation outcomes, invalid verdicts, and fail-open paths.
Classifier routing evidence crates/libsy/src/algorithms/stage.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms/util/stage.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms/util/affinity.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms/util/subagent.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms/composite.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms/fall_through.rs	Routing paths record normalized sources, retained assignments, subagent delegation, fallback decisions, confidence, and thresholds without overwriting existing evidence.
Advisor and escalation outcomes crates/libsy/src/algorithms/advisor_gate.rs, crates/libsy/src/algorithms/escalation.rs	Advisor outcomes record approval, redo, fail-open, and failure reasons. Escalation paths record confirmed, pending, retained, and fallback decisions.

This change adds structured routing evidence without identified behavioral regressions, but key helper contracts remain undocumented, which could lead to future metadata maintenance mistakes.
