Closer to Home: gate "Near you" on high/medium confidence (both modes)

Browse Source 
Codex polish before deploy: anything elevated as Near you / Close to home must have
geo_confidence in (high, medium) — the feature's promise is relevance. Country-only
mode now gates "near" too; since it has no "country" tier, the "world" scope is
widened to absorb low-confidence home-country stories so they surface there instead
of vanishing between tiers (the same edge-case class, fixed). State mode unchanged.

364 tests green.
