- #70908: Cron failure summarizer false-matches 401/403 in no_agent script stdout → misleading 'provider authentication error' notification

These items address a bug where cron failure summarization incorrectly classifies stdout content from no_agent/script jobs as provider authentication errors (401/403), leading to misleading notifications. The fix prevents provider-error classification logic from applying to this job type.
