fix(guardrails): don't hard-block advisory mode for non-PII flags on non-maskable input

Browse source 
Bugbot finding: gating the entire inject_system_message branch on
is_multimodal_input hard-blocked every flagged request on Responses
instructions, combined messages+input, or multimodal content, including
a prompt-injection-only violation with no PII at all. Masking safety only
matters when there's actual PII to mask; a violation with no PII needs no
masking, so the advisory should still be delivered normally.

Only degrade to blocking when the breakdown actually contains a PII
detection and masking isn't safely possible. Otherwise, mask whatever's
maskable (if any) and deliver the advisory as before.
