Confirmed live: a real failure ("WARNING: spare sync failed — error —
see system logs on ubuntu") didn't match any of categorize_error()'s
known patterns, fell into its generic catch-all bucket, and the actual
stderr text that would have explained it was sitting in a mktemp'd file
this script deletes on exit (trap ... EXIT) — so there was nothing in
"system logs" to actually go check. The categorization was silently
discarding the one piece of information that would have diagnosed the
problem.
Added log_raw_error(), called right after every categorize_error() site
(5 of them: two snapshot-failure paths, the primary REMOTE_TYPE mirror,
the new EXTRA_MIRROR_NAMES loop, and the DR-spare sync) — logs the raw
stderr text (truncated to 500 chars) into the same log stream as
everything else, so it survives past the run that produced it instead
of being deleted with the temp file. categorize_error()'s short bucket
label is untouched and still used for FAILED_SVCS/notification text,
which should stay concise — this adds the detail alongside it, not
instead of it.
