refactor: add is_error to on_tool_result protocol, remove text heuris… (#207)

* refactor: add is_error to on_tool_result protocol, remove text heuristics

Add is_error keyword arg to SessionUI.on_tool_result() so tools
report errors structurally. Server and JS client no longer guess
from output text prefixes — each tool sets the flag at the source.

Bash tool: exit code >= 2 is error, exit code 1 is ambiguous (grep
no-match). History reconstruction keeps text heuristic as fallback
for pre-migration data.

Update SDKs (Python + TypeScript), test mocks, docs, and diagrams.

* fix: infinite recursion in _report_tool_result, signal exits, stale docs

* fix: add _tool_error_flags to test_load_skill ChatSession stubs

For bash tools, this arrives after all streaming chunks and includes both stdout and stderr. The `is_error` field is `true` when the tool execution failed (e.g. bash exit code >= 2 or signal, file not found, timeout). Exit code 1 is ambiguous (e.g. `grep` no-match) and is not flagged. User denials are tracked separately via a `denied` flag. Clients should use `is_error` instead of text-prefix heuristics.
