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.
