chore: bump version to 1.2.2

* fix: universal tool_call/tool_result orphan detection for OpenAI-compat providers

The Anthropic provider had orphan detection for mismatched tool_call ↔
tool_result pairs, but OpenAI-compatible providers (Chat Completions,
Google, Responses API) had none. When an Anthropic model runs behind
an OpenAI-compat API (e.g. Azure) or cancellation creates orphans,
the API rejects the malformed request.

- Rewrite sanitize_messages() with orphan detection: synthesize error
  tool results for unmatched tool_calls, drop tool results with no
  matching tool_call, fill empty tool_call IDs with positional remap
- Call sanitize_messages() from Responses API _convert_messages()

* fix: address review feedback on orphan detection

- Track answered IDs per-turn (local_answered) instead of scanning
  all of out, preventing false matches from reused IDs across turns
- Drop empty-ID tool results that have no remap entry instead of
  passing them through with invalid empty tool_call_id
- Increment empty_result_idx for every empty result, not just remapped
- Remove dead result_ids peek-ahead code
- Add test for repeated tool_call IDs across turns

+"""Rule registry — thread-safe merged view of built-in + DB rules.
+
+Provides the heuristic rule table and output guard pattern set used by
+the intent judge (Facet 1) and output guard (Facet 2).  Built-in rules
+are defined in ``judge.py`` and ``output_guard.py``.  Custom rules are
+stored in the ``heuristic_rules`` and ``output_guard_patterns`` tables.
+
+Merge strategy (per name):
+  - DB row with matching name → replaces built-in
+  - DB row with builtin=1, enabled=0 → disables built-in
+  - DB row with builtin=0 → new custom rule
+  - No DB row → built-in used as-is
+
+The registry is thread-safe: ``reload()`` acquires a lock, rebuilds the
+merged view, then atomically swaps the cached snapshots.
