[deep-report] Threat detection engine repeatedly fails to produce results, rendered as generic banners indistinguishable from a real hit #49155

Description

@github-actions

Description: The threat-detection engine failed to produce results on at least 7 separate agentic workflow runs in the last 24 hours alone (Daily Copilot PR Merged Report, GEO Audit Report, Daily Compiler Code Quality Report, Auto-Triage, Daily Status x2, Constraint Solving POTD, Agent Performance Report). Every failure renders an identical [!WARNING] threat detection engine error / [!CAUTION] agentic threat detected banner with the body "The threat detection engine failed to produce results" — this is a tooling failure, not a security finding, but the banner text is styled identically to (or worse than, in warn-mode CAUTION cases) a real detected threat.

Expected Impact: Fixing the underlying engine failure (or at minimum, giving the tooling-failure case its own unambiguous banner distinct from a real threat verdict) removes a source of alert fatigue across dozens of daily reports and prevents a genuine threat from being masked by "just another failed-engine banner" pattern-matching.

Suggested Agent: New Agent (or whoever owns pkg/workflow/threat_detection* / the detection-engine runtime)

Estimated Effort: Medium (1-4 hours) — root-cause why the engine fails so often, then differentiate the tooling-failure banner from the real-threat banner

Data Source: DeepReport Intelligence Briefing analysis, 2026-07-30 — cross-referenced against 40 discussions from the trailing 7 days; this specific failure pattern recurred in at least 7 of them within a single 24h window.
