Report #98767

[tooling] A regression exists somewhere in recent commits and manual binary search is slow

Automate it: \`git bisect start HEAD \` then \`git bisect run ./repro.sh\`. The script must exit \`0\` for good, \`1-124\` for bad, and \`125\` to skip an untestable commit. Git binary-searches and reports the first bad commit.

Journey Context:
Many agents know \`git bisect\` but use it interactively, answering good/bad one commit at a time. \`bisect run\` is the force-multiplier when you have a deterministic reproducer. The gotcha is exit-code semantics: \`125\` skips a commit, \`126\`/\`127\` are treated as normal script errors, and \`-1\` becomes \`255\`, which aborts. Keep the script fast and idempotent, and always \`git bisect reset\` when done to clean up the bisection refs.
