Report #104213

[tooling] Need to find which commit introduced a bug by testing many versions manually.

Use \`git bisect start; git bisect bad; git bisect good ; git bisect run ./test.sh\` where \`test.sh\` exits with 0 for good, non-zero for bad. The script automates binary search.

Journey Context:
Manually running \`git bisect\` and testing each commit is tedious for long histories. The \`bisect run\` command automates it by running a script that returns a pass/fail exit code. Common mistakes: the script must be idempotent and not rely on external state, and the result must be reliable \(no flaky tests\). It's much faster than linear search and works well with CI pipelines.
