Return 'Medium' instead of 'Unavailable' if risk_band is not available
What does this MR do and why?
Resolves https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/modelops/anti-abuse/team-tasks/-/issues/446.
In the exceptional scenario1 where Arkose Verify API returns a JSON response without a session_risk.risk_band
value, we want to treat the new user as medium-risk (required to verify their identity using email and phone number) instead of low-risk (required to verify their identity using email only).
This is achieved in this MR by falling back to returning 'Medium'
instead of 'Unavailable'
when calling risk_band
on an Arkose::VerifyResponse
object instantiated using a JSON response without session_risk.risk_band
value.
1 This exact scenario happened 47k+ times in February, 29k+ times in January, twice in June then just stopped happening. Root cause is unknown at the moment and is actively being investigated in collaboration with Arkose team.
