Chris CoutinhoandClaude Opus 4.8 a27ddb2d5a feat(ingest): record suppressed OCR escalations (what-if-OCR signal)
OCR is the paid, opt-in tier (DOCUMENT_OCR_ENABLED, default off). The per-tier
escalation gate already declines to hop to OCR when it's disabled (the pre-OCR
tier is terminal — no surprise cost), but that left operators blind to how much
OCR demand exists.

evaluate_escalation now returns a structured EscalationDecision:
- "hop"        — a higher tier can run; the caller raises EscalateError (queue-hop).
- "suppressed" — the ideal next tier (e.g. ocr) exists but is DISABLED; the caller
                 indexes the current tier's output as terminal and records the
                 would-be hop on the new astrolabe_document_escalation_suppressed_total
                 {from_tier,to_tier,reason} counter instead of hopping.
- None         — index as-is (good text, or no such tier at all).

So with OCR off, escalation_suppressed_total{to_tier="ocr"} is the latent OCR
demand an operator weighs before enabling OCR; enabling it converts these into
real document_escalation_total{to_tier="ocr"} hops. next_available_tier gains an
ignore_enabled flag to compute the *ideal* (enabled-gate-ignored) target.

Tests: registry suppressed vs hop vs terminal (incl. structured-hop-not-suppressed
when OCR off but structured available); _parse_pdf_tier records suppressed +
indexes without raising.

Deck #324 (parent #323).

"""Tier-escalation ladder + signal for the per-tier ingest fleet (Deck #323).
The escalation ladder is the cheapest-first ordering of extraction tiers:
fast -> structured -> ocr ( -> llm, reserved)
It mirrors the ``tier`` vocabulary documented on
:meth:`DocumentProcessor.tier <.base.DocumentProcessor.tier>` and the
observability label set. On the *external* (procrastinate) ingest path each tier
runs on its own queue + worker fleet; a document that a tier cannot parse well is
**requeued onto the next tier's queue** rather than escalated inline. The
mechanism is a raised :class:`EscalateError` that the procrastinate retry
strategy turns into a native ``RetryDecision(queue=<next-tier queue>)`` queue-hop
(see ``vector/queue/procrastinate.py``).
This module is deliberately free of any queue/transport dependency: it only
knows the *tier* vocabulary and the escalation signal. The tier -> queue-name
mapping lives in the queue layer, which imports :class:`EscalateError` from here
(document_processors never imports vector.queue, so there is no import cycle).

next tier), but that tier is **disabled** (e.g. OCR off). The caller does
NOT hop — it indexes the current tier's output as terminal — and records
the would-be escalation so operators see the latent demand ("what-if OCR
were enabled"). Enabling the tier turns these into real ``"hop"`` events.
