Quiz hardening: cross-field schema validation rejects ungradeable quizzes

quizInputSchema now enforces (via pure quizInputProblems + superRefine) that
correctAnswer resolves against option values, options are non-empty and
unique, and multi-answer requires multiSelect — schema-valid now implies
gradeable. The AI SDK already returns invalid tool input to the model as a
tool-error part (verified in ai@7 run loop), so the teacher retries in the
same turn. chat-handler onError passes tool-input validation messages
through to the client (masked 'An error occurred.' for everything else).
Covers the Gate 3 GLM failure: correctAnswer slug matching no option.
