Jon Chery 51b886f3f6 feat(P03 W2): outcome backfill (REQ-317) + escalation_reason (REQ-318)
REQ-317: core/metrics/outcome_backfill.py backfills fact_decision.outcome
pending -> succeeded/failed after run.completed/run.failed; idempotent +
terminal (does not overwrite a non-pending outcome); wired into the
collector. The Post-Pilot AI Decision Accuracy denominator is now grounded
(fact_decision.outcome is not stuck pending).

REQ-318: ai.decision.made on a block band carries escalation_reason:
'confidence' (the only value in v1.26 — a block is always confidence-
driven; future milestones may add 'policy'). Persisted into fact_run by
the collector. The Post-Pilot Human Escalation Frequency denominator is
now grounded.

"""Nova Outcome Backfill (REQ-317, SPEC §5.8, P3 Wave 2).
The `fact_decision.outcome` column in the metrics cold store is written
`pending` by the collector (it ingests `nova.ai.decision.made` events,
which are emitted *before* the run executes the apply). Once the run
completes (`nova.run.completed`, exit 0) or fails (`nova.run.failed`,
exit non-zero), the outcome must be transitioned `pending ->
succeeded`/`failed` so the Post-Pilot AI Decision Accuracy denominator is
grounded (an outcome that is stuck `pending` cannot be scored).
Architecture (grounded in what the ledger + collector actually do):
* The Decision Ledger (`core/metrics/decision_ledger.py`) is an
**append-only hash-chain** of CloudEvents envelopes — there is no
`fact_decision` table *inside* the ledger DB; facts live in the
separate collector cold store (`core/metrics/collector.py`,
`nova_metrics.db`). The ledger is never UPDATEd in place (that would
break the SHA-256 chain — see `verify_chain()`).
* Therefore the backfill does TWO things:
1. Appends a new audit event `nova.outcome.backfilled` to the
ledger (preserves the hash chain; auditable via `replay_run`).
2. UPDATEs the `fact_decision` row in the cold store (the row is
keyed by `decision_id`; `outcome` + `backfilled_at` are
mutable — they are facts, not chain events).
Idempotent + terminal:
* If `outcome` is already `succeeded`/`failed` (i.e. not `pending`),
the call is a no-op and returns `{"status": "already_backfilled",
"existing_outcome": <current>}`. A terminal outcome is NEVER
overwritten (defense against double-backfill and against flipping a
`succeeded` run to `failed` retroactively or vice versa).
* The same `outcome` value is re-asserted harmlessly (still a no-op).
REQ-317: `outcome` ∈ {"succeeded", "failed"} only — `pending` is the
initial state and may not be written by the backfill (it would undo the
transition). An invalid value raises `ValueError`.
Future milestones may add `'policy'` to `escalation_reason` (REQ-318);
this module is scoped to outcome only.
