/**
 * What a composed child handed back: its ANSWER, or the terminal verdict its
 * chart ended on — and a child that ended on a verdict is a FAILED child.
 *
 * An agent ends some runs on a record in its state instead of a throw — a
 * reliability fail-fast, a policy halt, a denied message, a refused answer —
 * and only its own run boundary (`Agent · finalizeResult`) turns the record
 * into the typed error. A composition mounts the agent's CHART, so that
 * boundary never runs: the record stayed behind the mount and the composition
 * carried on as if the child had answered.
 *
 * A mount hands its outputMapper the chart's RESULT, or — when the chart
 * returned none — the child's whole state. Only the child knows which is
 * which: an agent's validated answer leaves as an object, and read as state it
 * looked like a refusal. So the child's own runner reads the outcome
 * (`core/terminalVerdict.ts` · `outcomeOf`): an answer from a result, a
 * verdict ONLY from state. A runner that does not read its own outcome hands
 * back its result as the answer, as it always did. Each composition then
 * fails the way it fails for any child:
 *
 * - Sequence, workflow(), Conditional and Loop hand a child's error on as it
 *   is: they carry the verdict onto their own state (`carryVerdict`) and raise
 *   the child's own error (`raiseChildVerdict`) before anything after the
 *   child runs.
 * - Parallel and graph() report failed children themselves: the child's
 *   outputMapper throws the child's error (`childError`), so the merge or the
 *   level join reports that branch or node as failed with its message.
