refactor(agent): add result-based execution env

+## Error handling
+
+The target error-handling model is `Result<TValue, TError>` for fallible harness operations instead of thrown exceptions. Implementations should catch backend/provider/filesystem exceptions at the boundary and normalize them into typed error results; callers should inspect returned results instead of relying on thrown exceptions.
+
+This is currently implemented for `ExecutionEnv`, `NodeExecutionEnv`, shell-output capture, and skill/prompt-template resource loading. Older harness/session/compaction APIs still throw in several paths; finishing that migration is tracked in the cleanup todo.

 ## State model
 
 The harness separates state into four categories.

+Started.
+
+Implemented so far:
+
+- Added generic `Result<TValue, TError>` plus helpers.
+- Updated `ExecutionEnv` and `NodeExecutionEnv` to return typed results for filesystem/process operations.
+- Added `ExecutionEnv.appendFile()` for streaming append use cases.
+- Updated skill and prompt-template loaders to consume `ExecutionEnv` results.
+- Updated shell output capture to return a result and use `ExecutionEnv` instead of Node APIs directly, including full-output spill via `appendFile()`.
+- Removed `NodeExecutionEnv` from the browser-safe `execution-env.ts` re-export; Node-specific callers import from `harness/env/nodejs.js`.
+- Expanded `NodeExecutionEnv` tests for file operations, exec errors, aborts, callbacks, timeouts, and shell-output full-output spill.
+
+Still needed:
+
+- Remove remaining throws from `src/harness` APIs and helpers, except explicit adapter/test helpers such as `getOrThrow()`.
+- Convert session storage/repo/session APIs to typed result returns.
+- Convert structural `AgentHarness` operations to typed result returns for busy, missing-resource, auth, compaction, and branch-summary failures.
+- Convert compaction helpers to typed result returns.
+- Keep Node-specific APIs isolated under `src/harness/env/nodejs.ts` and Node-backed storage/session implementations, or move those implementations behind explicit Node-only entry points.
+- Replace Node globals in generic harness utilities, especially `Buffer` usage in truncation utilities, with runtime-neutral implementations.
+- Audit package exports so browser/generic-JS imports do not pull Node-only modules such as `NodeExecutionEnv` or JSONL storage.
+- Keep expanding `ExecutionEnv` and shell-output contract tests as the API evolves, especially for non-Node implementations.
+- Add tests proving harness APIs return `ok: false` instead of throwing for expected failure paths.
