Subject: [PATCH] fix(ci): add fallback JSON extraction to issue triage
 workflow

The Gemini CLI outputs debug lines (telemetry init, YOLO mode) to
stdout that get captured alongside the model response. The parsing
logic handled this when the model wrapped JSON in a markdown code
block, but began failing when the model stopped doing so around
Feb 18. Add a third fallback that extracts a raw JSON object from
the mixed output.
