feat(fallback)+chore(cache): D28 — per-hop log observability fields (round-3 F2)

cold-audit catch from 2026-05-24 (round 3)

Round-3 cold-audit Finding 2 (P2 observability gap). ADR 0004 §
Observability headers requires per-hop structured log events to carry
7 fields: timestamp, chain id, hop index, failed provider, trigger type,
IR request hash, and downstream provider that was tried next. Pre-D28
events only carried timestamp/hop/provider/model/error/code — operators
could not:
- correlate hops across one logical request (no chain_id)
- pivot per-prompt via fingerprint (no ir_request_hash)
- tell from one log line which bucket classified the error (no
  trigger_type)
- see lookahead routing (no next_provider)

Changes (3 files, +431 / -3):

1. lib/cache/keys.mjs (+35):
   - New export `computeIRRequestHash(ir)` returning a 16-char SHA-256
     prefix over the IR fields that define request semantics
     (messages-normalized, tools, temperature, max_tokens, top_p, stop,
     tool_choice, response_format). Excludes provider/model/cache_control
     so the hash is provider-agnostic — identical prompts across a
     fallback chain produce identical fingerprints, enabling log
     correlation. 16-char prefix gives 2^64 collision resistance —
     astronomically safe for the use case while keeping log lines compact.

2. lib/fallback/engine.mjs (+86 / -3):
   - New helper `classifyTrigger(error)` returning one of:
     'hard' / 'auth_missing' / 'client_error' / 'non_trigger' / null.
     ProviderError with HARD_TRIGGER_CODES → 'hard'; AUTH_MISSING → its
     own bucket; HTTP 400/401/403/404/422 → 'client_error' (per ADR 0004
     § "No fallback for client-side errors"); HTTP 5xx or non-client 4xx
     (e.g. 429/529) → 'hard'; other → 'non_trigger'. 'soft' is reserved
     in JSDoc for forward-compat per D22 Amendment 2's deferral of soft
     triggers to v1.x.
   - `executeWithFallback` now generates `chainId` (crypto.randomBytes(8)
     .toString('hex')) and `irRequestHash` (computeIRRequestHash(ir))
     ONCE at entry — both stay constant across all hops in the chain.
   - All 8 logEvent call sites augmented with the 4 new fields:
     fallback_soft_trigger, fallback_hop_success, fallback_hop_error,
     fallback_client_error_no_fallback, fallback_auth_missing_no_fallback,
     fallback_hard_trigger, fallback_non_trigger_error,
     fallback_chain_exhausted.
   - `next_provider` is `chain[i + 1]?.provider ?? null` on advancement
     events; null on terminal events (success / client_error /
     auth_missing / chain_exhausted).
   - chain_id NOT reused from generateRequestId() since that produces
     OpenAI-response-scoped `chatcmpl-<base64url>` IDs; chain_id is
     internal log correlation and uses a clean 16-char hex token.

3. test-features.mjs (+313): 24 new tests covering:
   - computeIRRequestHash determinism + 16-char hex shape + 8 per-field
     sensitivity tests (one per IR input field)
   - Provider-agnosticism (same hash across different provider/model)
   - chain_id uniqueness across calls + consistency across hops
   - trigger_type for each branch (hard / auth_missing / client_error /
     non_trigger / null)
   - next_provider correctness (chain[i+1] on advance; null at
     exhaustion)

Tests: 376 → 400 (+24). All pass on Node 20.

Pure observation-only change: no fallback decision logic touched.
`evaluateHardTriggers`, `evaluateSoftTriggers`, `HARD_TRIGGER_CODES`,
`CLIENT_ERROR_STATUSES` are only READ by `classifyTrigger`; the existing
decision branches are textually unchanged — only the trailing logEvent
object literals are expanded.

Authority:
- ADR 0004 § Observability headers (the 7-field requirement)
  https://github.com/dtzp555-max/olp/blob/main/docs/adr/0004-fallback-engine.md
- ADR 0004 § "No fallback for client-side errors" — 401/403/404/422
  bucket (used by classifyTrigger's CLIENT_ERROR_STATUSES branch)
- ADR 0005 Amendment 2 (D15) — cache key composition fields, mirrored
  in computeIRRequestHash minus provider/model/cache_control
- D22 Amendment 2 (ADR 0004) — soft triggers deferred to v1.x;
  'soft' reserved in JSDoc but unreturnable
- CC 开发铁律 v1.6 § 10.x — Round-3 Cold Audit caught this

Reviewer (Iron Rule v1.6 § 10.x Mode A, fresh-context opus, independent
of drafter): APPROVE. Traced all 8 classifyTrigger branches against
ADR 0004 wording; verified 401/403/404/422 correctly classified as
'client_error' (never 'hard') per the ordering of CLIENT_ERROR_STATUSES
check before the generic status>=400 fallthrough; confirmed observation-
only via diff inspection (only logEvent object literals expanded, no
control-flow changes); independently ran git-stash to verify pre-D28
baseline 376 + 24 = 400.

3 non-blocking suggestions noted (JSDoc 'soft' union vs unreachable
return; future cross-correlation of chain_id with chatcmpl response IDs;
log-line redundancy between fallback_hop_error + fallback_hard_trigger
for same hop) — all cosmetic, not folded.

Note on D27 CI: D27 first CI run failed 1/376 on a Suite 17 port-
collision flake (overlapping random port ranges across Suite 17 tests +
Linux TIME_WAIT timing). Re-run was green. The flake is pre-existing
from D18-era test design; tracked as D29 follow-up to switch Suite 17
to OS-assigned port 0. D28 doesn't touch Suite 17 and is unaffected.
