praxis: an empty attention list is not always an all-clear (V-540)

ECOSYSTEM-SPEC §2.6 requires list_attention to distinguish "nothing needs
attention" from "I cannot currently tell", and to say so when a source is
failed or stale. Maven said the first one unconditionally: ListAttention
decoded into []map[string]any, the word degraded appeared nowhere, and an empty
list answered "ничего не требует внимания". A Praxis with every source dead
read as calm.

Two halves, because the spec's mechanism does not exist server-side yet. The
deployed Praxis answers /api/v1/tools/attention with a bare array and no
envelope, so praxisAttention now decodes either shape and believes a degraded
array when one arrives. Until one does, an empty list triggers one read of
/api/v1/sources, and anything that is not reporting health "ok" is named
instead of the all-clear. Zero sources is the same answer: a Praxis that polls
nothing knows nothing, which is the state of this box today.

A sources read that fails is deliberately not a hedge. The attention call
succeeded, and not being able to ask about health is not evidence of a fault.

Both hedges also cover the entity-scoped digest, where a per-entity all-clear
is the more convincing of the two. New keys attention_degraded and
attention_no_sources, in acts_ru_v1.json and the floor. The fake Praxis serves
one healthy source by default, so the existing attention tests still assert an
all-clear on purpose rather than by omission.
