Original bug report: With classify_trigger = "new_session", a custom classifier retains the selected primary model but loses the model group associated with that decision. If the retained primary model fails during a later request in the same session, Switchyard tries a target from models.any before the remaining fallback in the originally selected group.

To fix this we store the original Category, so that we can find other models in that category.

Walkthrough

Affinity routing now retains the selected model and category together. Replay returns both values, and unavailable-model checks use the expanded assignment. Related classifier and processor documentation now describe category behavior more precisely.

Changes

Affinity Category Retention

Layer / File(s) Summary
Retained category flow
crates/libsy/src/algorithms/util/affinity.rs, crates/libsy/src/core/classifier.rs, crates/libsy/src/core/processor.rs
Affinity assignments now store ModelId with Option<Category>. Processing records the category, replay returns it in classifier scores, and model availability checks inspect the model in the tuple. Documentation describes the updated category behavior.

The fallback category is preserved in code, but a future regression could silently restore incorrect session fallback behavior because the targeted tests do not cover it.

Add a regression test for the retained category.

The tests in this file pass category: None for every Event::Decision. They do not verify that process stores a category and score returns it. Add a test with a concrete category and assert the replayed Score.category.
