Add AI provider degradation registry and alerting (server-26#14)
Three AI dependency failures in one night (retired Gemini model IDs,
depleted Gemini balance, unpayable OpenAI account) each surfaced only
as a single ERROR log line that nobody was watching. Add
app/internal/ai_health.py, a shared in-memory registry that
transcription.py and llm_correlator.py report into on every call
(success and failure), distinguishing permanent conditions (dead
model, dead billing) which alert immediately from transient ones
(rate limits, network blips) which only alert after they persist.
Alerts POST once per degradation episode and once on recovery to an
optional Discord webhook (AI_ALERT_WEBHOOK_URL), reusing alerter.py's
httpx pattern. State is exposed unauthenticated at GET /health/ai
alongside the existing /health.

"""
Shared AI-provider degradation registry.
On the night of 2026-08-18 three independent AI dependency failures (a
retired Gemini model ID, a depleted Gemini balance, an unpayable OpenAI
account) each surfaced only as a single ERROR log line -- and nobody reads
container logs continuously. This module is the fix: every AI call site
reports its outcome here instead of (or in addition to) just logging, so the
current state of every AI tier can be read back over HTTP (see
app/main.py's /health/ai) and pushed out to Discord on state changes.
Tiers are tracked independently and in memory only (module-level singleton,
no Firestore/DI -- consistent with the rest of this codebase). State is lost
on restart, which is fine: a fresh process should re-derive degradation from
the next few calls rather than resurrect a possibly-stale alert.
The load-bearing distinction, from the incident this module exists to
prevent: a PERMANENT condition (retired model, dead billing account, bad API
key) will never clear on its own and must alert on the very first
occurrence. A TRANSIENT condition (rate limit, network blip) clears by
itself constantly and must NOT page anyone for the first failure -- only if
it persists. classify() is the one place that tells the two apart from a
provider error message, because both this module's callers (llm_correlator.py,
transcription.py) need the exact same judgment call and must not each grow
their own slightly-different copy that drifts.
