refactor(src): Phase 12.6.1 - migrate api_hooks.py silent-fallback sites to Result[T]

Migrated 16 sites in src/api_hooks.py:
- Added _safe_controller_result(controller, method_name, fallback) -> Result[dict]
- Added _run_callback_result(callback) -> Result[bool]
- Added _parse_float_result(value, default) -> Result[float]
- Added D.2b WebSocket error response drain point heuristic

Site migrations:
- L294 (check_all warmup_status): _safe_controller_result
- L387/404/410/428/442 (warmup_status/wait_for_warmup/warmup_canaries/startup_timeline):
  _safe_controller_result
- L430 (parse_timeout query param): _parse_float_result
- L575 (trigger_patch): _run_callback_result (extracted _do body)
- L606 (apply_patch): _run_callback_result
- L634 (reject_patch): _run_callback_result
- L744 (kill_worker): _run_callback_result
- L807 (mutate_dag): _run_callback_result
- L824 (approve_ticket): _run_callback_result
- L915 (json.JSONDecodeError in _handler): send error to client (drain point)
- L926 (ConnectionClosed in _handler): Result conversion in body

Removed 8 sys.stderr.write('[DEBUG] ...') diagnostic noise lines from the
callback bodies (AGENTS.md 'No Diagnostic Noise in Production' rule).

Audit post-fix: 0 violations, 0 UNCLEAR in src/api_hooks.py.

Heuristic D.2b added: websocket.send / .send() is INTERNAL_COMPLIANT
(drain point) when the except body calls it. Extension of drain point
recognition for WebSocket-based protocols.

Audit tests: 24 passed + 2 xfailed (Phase 11's #22/#23 laundering heuristics).

+the trampoline pattern. Each callback body returns `None` on success or raises.
+The helper does try/except and returns Result[None]. Then replace each
+broad-catch trampoline with: `result["status"] = "ok" if _run_callback_result(callback).ok else "error"`.
+
+Actually simpler: for each broad-catch, just convert the body to use
+`Result[bool]` propagation: success returns True, failure returns False with
