feat(whiteboard-skill): svg first

Emit structured validation, API, network, file, and internal error envelopes for Doc shortcuts so users and agents can recover from failed document workflows using stable type, subtype, param, and code fields.

Add Doc domain errscontract and golangci guards to prevent legacy envelope and common helper regressions.

 ### Structured errors in commands
 
-`RunE` functions must return `output.Errorf` / `output.ErrWithHint` — never bare `fmt.Errorf`. AI agents parse stderr as JSON; bare errors break this contract.
+Command-facing failures must be typed `errs.*` errors — never the legacy `output.Err*` helpers and never a final bare `fmt.Errorf`. AI agents parse the stderr envelope's `type` / `subtype` / `param` / `hint` fields to decide their next action; the full taxonomy lives in `errs/ERROR_CONTRACT.md`.
+
+Picking a constructor:
+
+| Failure | Constructor |
+|---------|-------------|
+| User flag/arg fails validation | `errs.NewValidationError(errs.SubtypeInvalidArgument, ...).WithParam("--flag")` |
+| Valid request, wrong system state | `errs.NewValidationError(errs.SubtypeFailedPrecondition, ...).WithHint(...)` |
+| Lark API returned `code != 0` | `runtime.CallAPITyped` (shortcuts) / `errclass.BuildAPIError` (raw responses) — never hand-build |
+| Network / transport failure | `errs.NewNetworkError(errs.SubtypeNetworkTransport, ...)` |
+| Local file I/O failure | `errs.NewInternalError(errs.SubtypeFileIO, ...)` — validate the path first (`validate.SafeInputPath` / `SafeOutputPath`) and use `vfs.*` |
+| Unclassified lower-layer error as final | `errs.NewInternalError(errs.SubtypeUnknown, ...).WithCause(err)` |
+| Lower layer already returned a typed error | pass it through unchanged — re-wrapping downgrades its classification |
+
+Signatures that are easy to guess wrong:
+
+- `runtime.CallAPITyped(method, url string, params map[string]interface{}, data interface{}) (map[string]interface{}, error)` — it performs the HTTP request itself and classifies `code != 0` into a typed error; just return the error it gives you.
+- Typed pass-through check: `if _, ok := errs.ProblemOf(err); ok { return err }` — `ProblemOf` returns `(*errs.Problem, bool)`, not a nilable pointer.
+- `.WithParam` exists only on `*errs.ValidationError`. `InternalError` / `NetworkError` have no param field — file or endpoint context goes in the message or `.WithHint(...)`.
+
+`forbidigo` + `lint/errscontract` reject the legacy `output.Err*` helpers, bare final `fmt.Errorf` / `errors.New`, and legacy envelope literals on migrated paths. Beyond what lint catches, three authoring conventions apply:
+
+- Preserve the underlying error with `.WithCause(err)` so `errors.Is` / `errors.Unwrap` keep working.
+- `param` names only the user input that actually failed. Recovery guidance goes in `.WithHint(...)`; machine-readable recovery fields (`missing_scopes`, `log_id`) carry server/system ground truth only — never caller-side guesses.
+- Error-path tests assert typed metadata via `errs.ProblemOf` (`category` / `subtype` / `param`) and cause preservation, not message substrings alone.

 New code should not reach for `ErrBare` unless the command is
 genuinely a predicate. Anything carrying recoverable error content

+belongs in a typed `*errs.XxxError` — or, for a batch result, in the
+partial-failure outcome below.
+
+### Partial failure (batch / multi-status)
+
+A batch command (e.g. `drive +push` / `+pull` / `+sync`) that processes
+many items can finish in a third state, neither full success nor a single
+error: some items succeeded and some failed. Its primary output is the
+per-item result, so it does **not** belong in a `stderr` error envelope.
+
+Such a command returns `runtime.OutPartialFailure(data, meta)`, which:
+
+1. writes the full result to **stdout** as an `ok:false` envelope — the
+   summary and every per-item outcome (succeeded *and* failed) stay
+   machine-readable, exactly as a successful `Out(...)` would carry them,
+   but with `ok` honestly reporting failure; and
+2. returns `*output.PartialFailureError`, a typed exit signal the
+   dispatcher maps to a non-zero exit code while writing nothing further
+   to `stderr`.
+
+This is distinct from `ErrBare` (a predicate's one-bit answer) and from a
+typed `*errs.XxxError` (a `stderr` error envelope): a partial failure is a
+*result*, reported on stdout, that also failed. Consumers branch on
+`ok == false` and then read `data.summary` / `data.items[]`.
