refactor(complexity_router): drop the tier-rubric override, close the rubric on the window it was given (#35504)
Two changes to the classifier's system role, both narrowing it rather than adding to it classifier_tier_rubric let an operator replace the tier definitions. It shipped in #35471 alongside the assistant-turn context window, but the two answer different halves of the same report and only the context window was asked for. The override carried a composed prompt, an overridable and a non-overridable half, a blank-is-unset rule, a length-warning validator and a pair of dashboard controls. All of it goes The rubric then closes on one of two lines, chosen by classifier_context_window_size. At 0 no conversation is quoted, so the line is the original one, byte for byte: a deployment that sends no context is told to classify the current message and nothing else, which is what it could see all along. Above 0 the turns are quoted, and the original line told the model to disregard them, which is how a request whose difficulty was established in an earlier turn came back SIMPLE on the word "yes". There the line instead says to classify the current message using the quoted turns as context, and to rate what a short reply approves rather than the reply The choice keys on the window and not on classifier_context_include_assistant_turns. Whether the quoted turns are the user's alone or include the assistant's replies does not change what the model needs told, and whose turn is whose is already on the turns. Keying it on the assistant toggle would put the default deployment back on the original line, which is the configuration the report was raised against Folds in #35508, which built the window-dependent framing on top of the override this removes; that PR is closed in favour of this one
