/**
 * Per-run execution state for the vm workflow engine: the script context and
 * its injected hooks (`agent`/`parallel`/`pipeline`/`phase`/`log`/`args`), the
 * concurrency semaphore and caps, cancellation, and the drive loop that turns
 * a script settlement into a {@link WorkflowResult}.
 *
 * Realm discipline (see also ./realm.ts): values ENTERING the host from the
 * script (hook options, schemas, the return value) are materialized via
 * descriptor walks; values ENTERING the realm from the host (`args`, agent()
 * results) are rebuilt INSIDE the realm through the context's own
 * `JSON.parse`, so the script never holds an object whose prototype chain
 * reaches host intrinsics. The arrays `parallel`/`pipeline` resolve to are
 * realm-built for the same reason (their ELEMENTS are realm values already —
 * only the container needs rebuilding). Realm functions (pipeline stages,
 * parallel thunks) are called, not materialized — their values stay
 * realm-side.
 *
 * Failure discipline: fatal {@link WorkflowError}s (bad hook arguments,
 * unsupported options/schemas, tripped caps, seam start failures,
 * cancellation) ALWAYS propagate through `parallel`/`pipeline`; the per-item
 * `null` is reserved for child-run failures and ordinary in-stage script
 * errors. Every hook-returned promise gets a no-op rejection consumer
 * attached, so a script that drops a promise (fires an `agent()` without
 * awaiting it) cannot surface an unhandled rejection when cancellation
 * rejects it — the app boot layer exits the process on unhandled rejections.
