phraser: put the phrasing fallbacks in a versioned json (V-501)

Four lines he hears out loud lived as string literals in three Go files, so
rewording one meant a rebuild. They move to fallbacks_ru_v1.json on the shape
nudges_ru_v1.json already uses: embedded, schema-versioned, several variants,
never the same one twice running.

The gap phrase is marked fixed, because it names one specific missing model and
must not drift into a general "I do not know". Every accessor falls back to the
literal it replaced, including on a nil receiver: these strings exist because
something already failed, so a broken template file must not take her last
words away.

package phraser
// The phrasing fallbacks — what she says when the model gave her nothing usable.
//
// They were four string literals spread across phraser.go, llmphraser.go and
// cmd/mavend/worldmodel.go. Every one of them is a line he hears out loud, so
// rewording one was a Go edit, a rebuild and a redeploy for what is product copy.
// This is the same shape nudges_ru_v1.json already uses for nudges: embedded,
// schema-versioned, several variants, and never the same variant twice running.
//
// The floor under the floor is deliberate. These strings exist because something
// already failed, so a broken template file must not be able to take the last
// words she has: every accessor falls back to the literal it replaced.
