Fix quality-run roster display, blank API errors, resolver-first (v1.12.94)

The recast/quality view's sidebar rebuilt its roster from only the
lines being checked, appearing to wipe every named character (the cast
itself was safe: named lines are never recast targets and increases in
Unknowns already roll back). The sidebar now seeds from the full cast
and refreshes during the run. Error notes fall back to the HTTP status
(statusText is empty on HTTP/2). The deterministic grammar resolver
runs before any LLM call in quality runs.

+## [1.12.94] — 2026-07-04
+
+### Fixed
+- **2nd Quality Run / Recast unknown appeared to wipe all named characters** — the sidebar roster was rebuilt only from the lines being checked, so it collapsed to "Unknown <n>" as if the whole cast was lost. The cast itself was never touched (named lines are never targets, and a run that would increase Unknowns already rolls back completely) — but the display now seeds from the full cast and stays correct as the run progresses.
+- **"API Error while checking Unknown line:" with no reason** — `statusText` is empty on HTTP/2, so error notes ended blank; they now fall back to the HTTP status code.
+
+### Changed
+- **Quality runs apply the grammar rules first** — the deterministic resolver (colon rule, post-quote inquit, "who had spoken") now runs before any LLM call in Recast unknown / 2nd Quality Run, resolving the mechanical cases instantly and shrinking the LLM's queue.
