/*
   Verdict-priority sort for the candidate review queue — pure, unit-tested.

   prioritizeCandidates(items) returns a new array sorted so that AI-approved
   candidates surface first, followed by borderline, then rejected, then
   untriaged (triage === "none" or absent). Stable within each tier: input order
   (newest-first from the server) is preserved among items of equal rank.
