fix: stop failing the build on a page that says it has no events

Infinity Nikki's wiki prints "There are no Events in this category"
between versions, and the refresh runner has honoured that since
2026-09-03 — it stores the empty parse as the source's real answer
rather than letting a quiet lane reach the broken tier. The feed build
never asked, so the same page arrived at CI as parsedCount 0,
indistinguishable from a parser that has stopped reading a redesigned
page, and brokenSources failed every build while every refresh stayed
green.

The runner's verdict cannot travel on its own: only a parser has seen
the page, and by the time brokenSources runs there is nothing left but
the feed. So the fact rides on SourceHealth, defaulted so an older feed
the service worker cached keeps validating and reads as the strict
answer.

Both ends now ask it the same way — of an empty parse only, from the
page's own words only — because a redesign yields zero rows too, and
excusing that is the silently emptied calendar the gate exists for.

The rule sits in a module rather than in build-feed.ts, which writes
public/ and so runs a build if a test imports it. That is how the two
ends drifted apart with nothing to catch it.

- **Two things judge a zero, and telling only one of them is half a fix.** The runner learned this on
2026-09-03; `scripts/build-feed.ts` did not, and CI fails the build on `brokenSources`
(`parsedCount === 0`). So for four days every green refresh was followed by a red CI run over a lane
that was correctly empty — the same rule, contradicting itself across two scripts. The runner's
verdict cannot travel on its own: only a parser has seen the page, and by the time `brokenSources`
runs there is nothing left but the feed. `SourceHealth.statesNoEvents` carries it,
`src/ingest/health.ts` sets it, and both ends now ask it the same way — of an empty parse only, from
the page's own words only.
It lives in a module because `build-feed.ts` writes `public/`, so importing it from a test runs a
build and the rule sat where no test could reach it. That is how the two ends drifted, and it is
the lesson `brokenSources` itself already carried: it was inline in `ci.yml` and pinned by grepping
that file for a string, which proved the check existed and never that it was right.
An empty Nikki lane is therefore now the truth rather than a gap, exactly as GFL2's thin weeks are.
The lane refills on its own when 2.8 is listed, with no parser change.
