Document deadline handling by mode.
Only capability mode uses fail_open. Custom mode propagates a judge timeout. In escalation mode, expiry leaves the session at its current tier. The llm_classifier_routing.md tuning row repeats the unqualified fail_open claim; give it the same mode-specific wording.

Recover only deadline expiry for escalation judges.
A configured deadline expiry currently returns ClientCall(Timeout). EscalationClassifier::score propagates that error before it can return the buffered weak response, so the request can end in a 504. Do not enable .with_error_recovery(true) for this fix: it also changes host client and stream-collection failures from fail-fast to fallback. Response aggregation and parse failures already fall back.
Add deadline-only recovery so the documented fallback works without changing the existing client-error behavior.

Since #702, judge calls are bounded only by the judge client's
timeout_ms— a per-client setting that resets on streamed reads is exactly what a judge that streams a token every few seconds defeats. Operators need a route-level bound on how long a request may wait for content the judge does not produce.Tests

Summary by CodeRabbit
judge_deadline_mssetting for capability, escalation, custom, and stage-router classifiers. It limits the time spent on a judge consultation, including receiving the full response; when unset, there is no deadline.
