adventure: stop dropping dispatches Pete has no words for

Browse Source

An event_type with no template was a 400 at ingest. That reads like caution
and behaves like deletion: gogobee retries a 400 to its cap and then parks the
row forever, so rejecting a type Pete hadn't learned to phrase didn't defer the
event, it destroyed it.

companion_hire went that way. It has been emitted from `!expedition hire` since
the combat-engine work landed and has never once reached the site — the game
logged a successful emit every time, and the queue row simply never sent. The
mitigation on the books was "always deploy Pete first", which is a thing a
person has to remember rather than a property of the system.

So invert it. An unknown type now warns, gets counted, and publishes on a
neutral fallback. 400 is kept for facts that are actually invalid: no guid, or
a name that failed the fact-guard. gogobee can ship a new event type any day of
the week now; the worst case is a thin card until Pete learns the words.

It is thinner than it sounds in practice. gogobee authors dispatch prose from
the fact's fields with no per-type switch, so an unrecognised type still
arrives with a real headline and lede and is allowed to use them. The fallback
only shows through when the model is off or the prose-guard refused the output.

Untemplated types never post live to Matrix, whatever tier they claim. A thin
card among cards is cheap and reversible; pinging everyone in the room with a
dispatch Pete couldn't phrase is neither. The daily digest still carries it,
one line among many, which is the right volume for something we don't
understand yet.

And give companion_hire its template. Pete is the one being hired, so it is
first-person like his duels — third-person Pete filling in as a cleric reads as
somebody else reporting on him.

The admin status page grows a "dispatches with no template" panel, so the next
one of these is a to-do list Pete can see rather than an archaeology dig.
