Jakob Wennberg 704bf93e08 feat(categorize): confidence calibration engine + measurement loop (cascade step 4) (#1784)
Turns the selector's raw confidence into a score that means what it says.

- lib/agent/categorize/calibration.ts: the engine. Isotonic regression
  (pool-adjacent-violators, distribution-free + monotonic) over
  (confidence, was_correct) samples → a calibrator; plus reliabilityByBucket,
  ECE, and bandFor(). bandFor NEVER returns 'auto' without a fitted calibrator
  (no silent booking on an unproven score) and never auto-books above an amount
  cap. 12 engine tests (overconfidence pulled down, underconfidence lifted,
  monotonicity, ECE, band gating).
- Measurement loop: migration categorize_calibration_samples (append-only,
  company-scoped RLS, confidence CHECK [0,1]) + POST /api/agent/categorize/
  outcome logging one sample (proposed vs actually booked) fire-and-forget from
  QuickReviewDialog on a successful book (sandbox skipped). AiCategorizeProposal
  surfaces the proposal metadata via onProposal.
- scripts/fit-categorize-calibration.ts (read-only): prints the reliability
  diagram + ECE + fitted calibrator once data has accumulated.

Fitting needs a few hundred real outcomes, so nothing calibrates today — the
loop starts collecting, and "säker" stays uncalibrated (no auto-book) until the
data proves it. 131 unit tests green; RLS covered by a pg-real test.

/**
* Calibration for the auto-booking cascade (step 4).
*
* The Tier-2 selector emits a raw combined confidence in [0,1], but raw model/
* ensemble scores are NOT calibrated: "0.9" does not mean "right 90% of the
* time" until you fit it against real outcomes. This module turns a corpus of
* (confidence, was_correct) samples — collected as users book or edit the
* proposals — into a monotonic calibrator (isotonic regression), and decides
* the auto-book / suggest / review band from the CALIBRATED probability.
*
* Until a calibrator is fitted (not enough data yet), `bandFor` runs in
* uncalibrated mode: it never returns 'auto' (no silent booking on an
* unproven score) and uses conservative raw thresholds for suggest/review.
* This is what keeps "säker" honest before the data exists.
*
* Pure functions only: no I/O. The samples come from the caller.
