Markus Wondrak 675143591d feat: bind gate verdict to workflow input via verdict_input (#3725)
* feat: bind gate verdict to workflow input via verdict_input

Add an optional `verdict_input` field to gate steps that lets an
external system supply a verdict through a declared workflow input
instead of an interactive TTY prompt.

When the referenced input carries a non-empty string value that
matches one of the gate's `options` (case-insensitive), the gate
auto-decides, records the matched spelling in `output.choice`, and
applies the existing `on_reject` / abort / skip / retry semantics.
If the value is present but does not match an option, or is a
non-string, the gate fails immediately with a clear error message.
When the input is absent, null, or empty, the gate falls back to
today's TTY-prompt-or-pause behaviour unchanged.

The engine now persists `result.error` alongside each step's status
and output so that failed-step error messages survive across runs.
The CLI (`workflow run` and `workflow resume`) surfaces these
persisted errors after a failed or aborted run. `validate_workflow`
cross-references `verdict_input` against the workflow's declared
inputs block and reports an error for undeclared names, consistent
with the existing `wait_for` id cross-check.

* Fix workflow JSON error payloads

Include persisted step errors in _workflow_run_payload so workflow run/resume/status --json all surface failure reasons consistently. Add JSON-path tests for failed and successful runs.

* fix(workflows): reject verdict inputs in fan-out

Fan-out items share workflow inputs and cannot safely consume a bound gate verdict. Reject verdict_input bindings during validation and at runtime while preserving unbound gates.
