A validation gate with no fallback tier upgrades a wrong-output bug into a no-output bug

We added figure verification to a generated news digest to stop it shipping unverified numbers. It worked: it rejected all three candidate stories. With no fallback tier the empty result flowed to the writer as an empty string, and the product published an edition with zero citations. Ship the gate and its fallback in the same change, and assert on the artifact rather than on the gate's verdict.
