When a Patreon source loses tier access, gallery-dl emits "Not allowed to
view post N" warnings for every post AND yt-dlp tries to fetch HLS manifests
which also 403. The ytdl error text contained "HTTP Error 403: Forbidden",
which the classifier's ACCESS_DENIED_PATTERNS matched against the full
combined stdout+stderr — so the run was labeled ACCESS_DENIED instead of
TIER_LIMITED.
Two fixes in one edit, because they're interlocked:
- Compute per-item vs source-level error lines upfront. has_actual_error
now reflects only source-level errors (previously the per-item exclusion
was gated on skip evidence, which tier-limited runs don't produce since
no content was accessed).
- Strip per-item error lines from `combined` before downstream pattern
matching so noise from recovered per-item failures doesn't latch onto
ACCESS_DENIED / HTTP_ERROR / NOT_FOUND classifiers.
Regression test: tier-gated Patreon run with yt-dlp HLS 403s → TIER_LIMITED,
not ACCESS_DENIED.
