Research direction

Locate ReviewRunner.detectPii, the dispatcher runner handling checkQueryPii, and the orchestrator's PII lane. Trace how pii.parse_error currently becomes an empty columns result, then verify that abstained files are marked unverified while verified-clean files retain their existing behavior; add or run the relevant review-runner and orchestrator tests if present.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Follow-up from PR #1090 review (Codex P1, comment 3768687908): when the composite check's checkQueryPii abstains (data.pii.parse_error), the review runner's detectPii returns { columns: [] }, indistinguishable from a verified-clean result, and the PII lane treats the model as clean.

Practical exposure is currently nil — an unparseable model already fails the review loudly via the validation/lint lanes, and the abstention is visible in the composite output and fails closed in the CLI/tool paths — but for the "degrade loudly" contract the lane should know the difference.

Scope: extend ReviewRunner.detectPii to return an optional abstained flag (optional field, non-breaking for mocks), set it from pii.parse_error in the dispatcher runner, and have the orchestrator PII lane mark PII checks as unverified (rather than clean) for that file.
