/// Failure mode: when the template rejects the input (e.g. the user
/// question carries an injection signature, or rendered bytes exceed
/// the tier cap), we fall back to the inline minimal formatter so an
/// existing ASK call doesn't suddenly start erroring on a question
/// that previously worked. The rejection is logged so the audit log
/// can capture it without breaking the user's flow.
