Report #44785

[tooling] Need to find which commit introduced a regression among hundreds of commits

Use \`git bisect run

Journey Context:
Manual binary search with \`git bisect good/bad\` is tedious and error-prone for large ranges. \`git bisect run\` automates this: provide a script \(e.g., \`./test.sh\` or \`pytest specific\_test.py\`\) that returns exit code 0 if the current commit is 'good' \(no bug\) and non-zero if 'bad' \(bug present\). Git automatically checks out middle commits, runs the script, and narrows down to the exact first bad commit. This turns hours of manual work into minutes of automation.
