Report #8165

[tooling] Finding the commit that introduced a regression requires manually checking out and testing multiple commits

Use \`git bisect run

Journey Context:
Manual \`git bisect\` requires interactive \`git bisect good/bad\` commands between each test, which is interruptible and slow. Most developers miss the \`run\` subcommand, which automates the entire loop. The script must follow specific exit codes: 125 skips the current commit \(essential when a commit doesn't compile\), 0 is good, and 1-127 is bad. This reduces hours of manual work to minutes of CPU time and eliminates human error in the binary search logic.
