Report #99208

[tooling] Need to find which commit introduced a regression in a long history

Use \`git bisect start \` then \`git bisect run

Journey Context:
Manual binary search is tedious and error-prone. \`git bisect run\` automates it with any test or build command. If the regression depends on a clean build, make the script run \`make clean && make && ./test\`. Returning 125 tells bisect to skip a commit it cannot test. Common mistake: leaving the repo in a detached bisect state; always reset afterward.
