Report #97237

[tooling] A regression appeared sometime in the last N commits and manual checkout is slow

Run \`git bisect start \` then \`git bisect run ./repro.sh\` where the script exits 0 for good and non-zero for bad; Git binary-searches the commit graph automatically.

Journey Context:
Manual bisect is tedious and error-prone because agents skip steps or mislabel commits. \`git bisect run\` automates the search as long as the reproducer is deterministic and idempotent. The script should build/test the exact state of the tree at each checked-out commit, so put heavy setup in the script or use a clean worktree. If the test is flaky, bisect will blame the wrong commit. For skipped states, exit 125 and Git will keep searching.
