Report #97094

[tooling] Find the commit that introduced a bug when manual binary search is error-prone

git bisect start HEAD && git bisect run ./test-script.sh

Journey Context:
Manual \`git bisect good/bad\` is tedious and prone to human error \(forgetting to mark, testing wrong commits\). \`git bisect run\` automates the binary search: the script must exit 0 for good, 1-127 for bad, and 125 for skip \(e.g., build failure\). The script can be inline: \`git bisect run sh -c 'make && ./test'\`. This reduces a 10-commit search from ~10 manual steps to a single command, guaranteeing the exact first bad commit is identified.
