phraser: report the failure next to the fallback (V-397)

PhraseChat and PhraseQuery returned canned text with a nil error, so a dead
or OOM-killed server was indistinguishable from bad phrasing — "не знаю." is
also a legitimate answer.

Both now return the fallback text AND the error. The daemon keeps using the
text, so the turn still survives; a measuring caller counts a real failure.
An empty response is its own error: the model is up and said nothing.
