Report #38709

[tooling] Regression introduced unknown when; manually checking commits is slow

Run \`git bisect start \` then \`git bisect run ./test.sh\`. Git automatically checks out commits and runs your script \(exit 0=good, 1-127=bad, 125=skip\) until it identifies the first failing commit.

Journey Context:
Manual binary search with \`git checkout\` is tedious and error-prone. \`git bisect run\` automates this by treating a test script as an oracle. The script can be a minimal reproduction case, unit test, or \`make test\`. This turns a 30-minute manual hunt into a 2-minute automated process even across hundreds of commits. It is particularly powerful when the test script is deterministic and fast.
