fix(evals): differentiate false positive vs false negative in escalation scorer

False negative (missed required escalation) → 0.0, hard_fail gate. False positive (unnecessary escalation) → 0.3 partial credit.

Rationale: a fraud case silently resolved is a security failure. An agent that escalates unnecessarily errs on the side of caution — bad UX but not a safety risk. Treating them identically obscured which failure mode appeared in reports.
