Renn F 648f45f2fc [F068][F069] mcp servers: classify all rejection shapes + envelope 404s
F068: the do/flow-server circuit breaker only counted rejections whose
`error` field was a STRING in _CIRCUIT_REJECTION_KINDS. A 422 validation
failure (no `error` field, a `detail` list) and a 500/HTTPException
(dict-shaped `error` from the exception handlers) both bypassed the breaker
→ unbounded retries on a storm of either. Added _classify_rejection(payload)
(shared, applied to both servers) mapping all three shapes to a counted kind:
string error (existing), dict error → substring-mapped code
(*DENIED*/*AUTHORIZED*/*FORBIDDEN*/*PERMISSION*→not_authorized,
INVALID_INPUT/*VALIDATION*→incomplete_input, *NOT_FOUND*→None parity, else
→invalid_state), 422 detail→incomplete_input. The dict TypeError defence lives
in the classifier (isinstance, never dict-in-frozenset).

F069: a manifest-registered verb whose HTTP route is missing got FastAPI's raw
`{"detail":"Not Found"}` 404 body — a non-envelope payload the breaker
couldn't classify, so a storm bypassed it. _post now synthesizes an
invalid_state Envelope rejection (with a remediate hint → i_am_blocked/i_am_idle)
for a 404 status, routed through _record_and_check_circuit so the breaker counts
it. A 404 that carries a real Envelope (error field present) is surfaced as-is,
preserving test_flow_post_returns_envelope_on_404. TDD: 422/dict/404 tests in
both server test files; updated test_dict_shaped_error_does_not_crash to assert
the SDK is now called with not_authorized (replacing the pass-through assertion
that encoded the bug).

"""flow_server wires gateway rejections into the SDK per-verb circuit breaker.
Phase 3 Task 14 added the SDK-side tracker (POST /verb/attempted,
GET /verb/circuit_status, Envelope.circuit_open). This module verifies
the *missing wiring*: rejection envelopes from the gateway must be
forwarded to the SDK, and when the breaker opens the rejection must be
substituted with the circuit_open envelope before reaching the agent.
The tests stub the orchestrator's httpx.Client (path '/api/v1/flow/...')
and the SDK's httpx.Client (path '/verb/attempted') so the helper can
be exercised end-to-end without a real network. We pick which mock to
return by inspecting the URL the code under test is hitting.
