mavend, router: stop three sources claiming turns the world should answer (V-474)

The querySources order predates the 2026-08-02 ruling that live search leads.

An unconfigured feeds source claimed every news question and answered with a
configuration status, so "что происходит сейчас в новостях про искусственный
интеллект?" never reached the search sitting one source below. It now claims
only when neither SearXNG nor the ZIMs are configured, which is the case the
"не читаю ленты" line was written for — general knowledge would otherwise
invent a bulletin.

The calendar matches on a day word alone and sits above the weather, so
"какая сегодня погода в Москве?" answered "на 02.08.2026 ничего нет." It now
steps aside on weather wording, the same bail-out queryHome already does.

"что нового в лентах?" routed system and answered "пока не умею", while the
same question worded with "новостях" worked. FeedQueryGrammar routes it to
query at stage 0, requiring an ask word and a feed noun so the bare greeting
"что нового?" stays a greeting. Wired in the eval too, since the fixture is
only worth anything while its grammar set is the daemon's.

Also: the claiming source is now logged. /trace is the nudge-rule trace and
carries no query-source field, so a wrong answer could not be told apart from
a wrongly-ordered chain.

Kiwix having no live coverage is filed separately as V-508 — it is a decision
about search quality, not an ordering fix.

 Misroute correction is append-only and grows the router's examples with use —
 same shape as `nudges.outcome` tuning cooldowns, no retrain.
 
-#### Risk tiers, not one boolean
-
-`Destructive` on a tool row is one bit set by whoever ticked the checkbox on
-`/tools`. It is a mechanism, and it never said which acts are destructive,
-whether a confirmed act stays confirmed, or what a new tool domain inherits.
-`internal/tool/risk.go` is the policy (Vikunja #449). The tier is DERIVED from
-the row, not stored, so it can be argued with in one place instead of being
-whatever the last person to enable the tool believed.
-
-| Tier | What it is | What it costs |
-|---|---|---|
-| `safe` | a read, or a change he can undo by saying the opposite | runs on first hearing |
-| `destructive` | it changes something real and undoing it takes work | one confirm turn, every time |
-| `irreversible` | the thing does not come back: a wipe, a format, a delete with no bin | voice may not authorise it at all |
-
-Three rules fall out, and they are the part that was missing:
-
-- **Which acts are destructive is not only the checkbox.** A house row always
-  is, because there is no read-only way to turn the heating off. A row whose
-  argv names one of the irreversible verbs always is, whatever the row says.
-- **A confirmed act never stays confirmed.** At any tier. A confirmation binds
-  one capability, one target and one argument list, and it dies with the parked
-  turn (90s). "The same act again" is a new act. A sticky confirm is a standing
-  grant and nothing on the voice path may hold one.
-- **A new domain inherits `destructive`, not `safe`.** A dispatch shape the
-  policy does not recognise gets the confirm turn. A domain argues its way down
-  to running freely; it never has to argue its way up to being gated.
-
-The irreversible tier is refused rather than asked about, because a confirm
-turn would be theatre: everything that proposed the act — an STT guess, a
-router guess, a fuzzy allowlist match — is a guess, and a spoken "да" checks
-none of it. She names the gap and he runs it himself. The row stays enabled;
-refusing to run it from voice is not the same as taking it off the allowlist.

-## A list is the fourth shape
-
-Facts, notes and tasks were the three append-only shapes. `list_items` is the
-fourth (Vikunja #453): an item, a status, and a list tag.
-
-It is not a task. Milk is not work, nothing prioritises it, and the ranker must
-not start counting groceries as outstanding errands. It is not a fact either,
-because it claims nothing about the world. What it is, is a set that grows and
-shrinks.
-
-The property that makes the separate table worth it: no predicate reads a list.
-Nothing ranks it, nothing nudges about it, the digestion worker ignores it. So
-two people adding to the same list at once cost nothing — there is no order to
-disagree about and no lifecycle past crossed-off.
-
-The unique index is the tasks one, per list, and live rows only. Saying "молоко"
-twice before the shop is one line; saying it again next week, after the last one
-was crossed off, is a new line.
-
-Spoken, it is four turns: add, read back, cross one item off, cross the lot off.
-All four are matched deterministically in `internal/router/list.go` and all four
-run at stage 0, because an add and a read-back are cheap and should not depend on
-the resident model having a good turn. Crossing one item off claims the turn only
-when the list holds that item, which is what keeps "купил новый ноутбук" a note.

-//
-// What existed before this file was a mechanism and no policy: one

-// Nothing said which acts are destructive, whether a confirmed act stays
-// confirmed, or what a new tool domain inherits — so every domain answered
-// those questions for itself, and two of them answered differently.
-//
-// The tiers below are the policy. They are derived from the row, not stored:
-// a derivation can be argued with and corrected in one place, while a column
-// is whatever the last person to enable the tool believed.
-//
-// The three questions, answered once:
-//
-//   - WHICH ACTS ARE DESTRUCTIVE. A house row always is, because there is no
-//     read-only way to turn the heating off. A row whose argv names one of the
-//     irreversible verbs always is, whatever the checkbox says. Everything else
-//     is what the row was enabled as.
-//   - DOES A CONFIRMED ACT STAY CONFIRMED. No. Never, at any tier. A
-//     confirmation binds one capability, one target and one argument list, and
-//     it expires with the parked turn (confirmTTL, 90s). "Same act again" is a
-//     new act and costs a new turn. A sticky confirm is a standing grant, and
-//     nothing on the voice path may hold one.
-//   - WHAT A NEW DOMAIN INHERITS. The default is TierDestructive, not
-//     TierSafe. A dispatch shape this file does not recognise gets the confirm
-//     turn — a new domain must argue its way DOWN to running freely, never up
-//     to needing a confirm.
