Separate recursive lookup classification from rendering

[dahlia]

Recursive lookup failures are classified before formatting output, so hint selection can be tested independently of rendering. Follow-up errors retain their target and original cause, including in debug logs when errors are suppressed.

Existing ordinary error messages, exit codes, and traversal behavior remain unchanged to preserve how scripts consume the CLI. Regression tests cover hint selection and partial output when private contexts fail, in both normal and reverse output order.

CLI checks passed, and mise run test-each cli passed on Deno, Node.js, and Bun.

Fixes #901.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CLI now classifies recursive lookup failures, preserves recorded failure and thrown-error causes, and renders classified errors with selected guidance. New tests cover failure classification and recursive lookup output. The changelog records the cause-preservation change.

Changes

Recursive lookup failure handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Failure model and classification packages/cli/src/lookup.ts, packages/cli/src/lookup.test.ts	The CLI adds a structured failure model and classifier for recursive lookups. Tests cover failure kinds, sources, presentation, suppressibility, and hints.
Recursive failure reporting packages/cli/src/lookup.ts, packages/cli/src/lookup.test.ts, CHANGES.md, changes.d/cli/recursive-lookup-debug-errors.md	Recursive lookup wraps missing results with recorded failure and cause information, then classifies and renders failures. Tests cover timeout output, runLookup, and suppressed private-context failures. Changelog entries describe cause preservation and link the issue and pull request.
