Auto-mode permission classifier retries get an explicit time ceiling

The auto-mode permission classifier now has a hard overall deadline, so slow checks can't drag on.

What

The two classifier stages now receive a single budget object with an overall deadline, a per-attempt timeout and, for the first stage, a ceiling computed from the retry count. Retries are bounded by that ceiling rather than only by the per-attempt value, so a slow classifier cannot stretch a decision indefinitely.

Details
  • Fields carried: deadlineMs, scope, attemptTimeoutMs, plus ceilingMs on stage one.
  • Stage two now has its own attempt timeout separate from the overall deadline.
Evidence

attemptTimeoutMs

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
