EthanHealy01 c64369e56c Classifier Policy (#6898)
## Overview

Adds **AI document classification** and a **classification-aware Files
sidebar**: uploaded documents are automatically tagged with
document-type labels (Invoice, Contract, Lab report, …), and the sidebar
groups files under editable parent categories so a large library stays
navigable.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **This feature only runs in the SaaS build.** Classification depends
on the AI engine and team-scoped label storage, so it's gated to SaaS
end-to-end:
> - The sidebar grouping is a `saas/`-layer override of the
`fileSidebarGrouping` seam; every other build (OSS core, self-hosted
proprietary, desktop) gets the null stub and renders the **unchanged
flat, recency-sorted list** — no categories, no "Other", no picker.
> - The classify/labels backend endpoints are gated on
`policies.enabled` (on in SaaS) and live in `app/proprietary`, so
they're absent from pure OSS and dormant in self-hosted unless
explicitly enabled.
> - The Python classifier is reached only via that gated path.
>
> Shared-layer changes that do compile everywhere are inert without the
engine (dormant schema/field additions) or intentional (`GetInfoOnPDF`
surfacing custom metadata).

## What it does

- **Classifier (engine):** reads the first/last two pages of a PDF and
assigns document-type labels from an allowed vocabulary. Labels are
deliberately document-*type* descriptors — no deep-content/PII
detection, since only a page window is read.
- **Team label vocabulary:** ~270 built-in defaults across ~15 families,
seeded per team. Editable by team leaders/admins in the Classification
policy settings (import/export/reset). Team-scoped and shared;
**per-user personal labels are intentionally out of scope** — the
vocabulary is team-level only.
- **Sidebar categories:** files group under parent categories
(Financial, Legal, Medical, …), busiest-first, collapsible, with a
"Recent" group on top and an "Other" group for anything uncategorised.
The category structure (names, icons, membership, custom categories) is
**device-local and user-editable** via a "Customize" picker — the only
per-user personalization; it never changes the team's label vocabulary.
- Classification results are written to PDF metadata
(`StirlingPDFClassification`), read back to keep files in their groups
without re-parsing.

## Architecture

Spans all three layers, mirroring the existing policy/source subsystem
conventions:
- **`frontend/editor`** — sidebar grouping seam + SaaS override,
category manager, labels editor, icon palette, file grouping, tests,
`en-US` i18n.
- **`app/proprietary` + `app/common` + `app/core`** —
`ClassifyLabelController`, team-scoped `ClassificationLabelStore` (Jpa +
in-process impls, same shape as `PolicyStore`/`SourceStore`), metadata
read/write.
- **`engine`** — the document-classifier agent, contracts, routes,
tests.

## Testing

- Frontend `task frontend:check` — green (editor + portal tests,
typecheck across all flavors, lint, label-drift guard).
- Backend `task backend:check` (proprietary) and `:saas:test` — green.
- Engine `task engine:check` — green.
