The AI often returns 'Guerre - Moyen-Orient' (ASCII dash) instead of
'Guerre — Moyen-Orient' (em-dash), causing exact match to fail silently.
Fix: normalize unicode, collapse all dash variants, then try
exact → normalized → partial substring matching.
Also log the raw AI response for debugging, increase max_tokens 1200→2000.
