Refactor duplicated pkg/cli outcome and stats helpers

[Copilot]

pkg/cli had duplicated outcome-evaluation logic across issue, PR, and comment evaluators, plus scattered helper functions in unrelated files. This refactor consolidates those helper clusters while preserving existing evaluator behavior.

• Outcome evaluation helpers
  • Centralized human comment counting for issues, PRs, and comment replies.
  • Shared close-provenance lookup for lifecycle bot classification.
  • Consolidated label-name extraction paths.

closedByBot, err:=isLatestCloseByBot(ctx, number, repo, closeStickyGHAPIGetArray)

• Statistics helpers

  • Moved shared math helpers into stats_helpers.go.
  • Replaced the hand-rolled median sort with slices.Sort.

• Trial result helpers

  • Moved safe-output error extraction, trial aggregation, and control-character sanitization out of trial_types.go.

• Focused coverage

  • Added helper-level tests for comment counting, close provenance, label conversion, and percentage edge cases.

Triage: Refactor duplicated pkg/cli outcome and stats helpers

• Category: refactor
• Risk: medium (13 files, +333/-227, touches core outcome-evaluation logic used across issue/PR/comment flows)
• Score: 68/100 (impact 32, urgency 16, quality 20)
• Recommended action: fast_track

Notes: CI green (all checks passing), AI reviewer left comments (unresolved). Behavior-preserving refactor with new focused tests, but touches shared eval helpers used repo-wide — warrants human review before merge, not auto-merge.
