* fix(daemon): surface OpenCode error frames + treat empty-output runs as failed

Closes #691. OpenCode runs would silently complete in ~3 seconds without
producing any visible chat output and still be rendered as a successful
turn — three independent bugs along the structured-stream path conspired
to produce this silent-failure shape.

## Bug 1 — `apps/daemon/src/json-event-stream.ts:85-91`

OpenCode emits structured error frames on stdout (e.g. provider auth
failures, network errors, schema mismatches) and still exits 0. The
parser was downgrading these to `{type: 'raw', line: ...}`, which the
chat UI does not render as an assistant message. The error string was
discarded as "no-op output."

Fix: emit a proper `{type: 'error', message, raw}` event matching the
qoder-stream contract that the daemon's existing error-handling path
already recognises.

## Bug 2 — `apps/daemon/src/server.ts:4199-4205`

Even after Bug 1 was fixed, the json-event-stream branch wired the
parser to a bare `(ev) => send('agent', ev)` lambda — bypassing the
`sendAgentEvent` wrapper that interprets `type:'error'` events and
sets the `agentStreamError` flag the close handler reads to flip the
run to `failed`. So an emitted `error` event would just be forwarded
as a no-op `agent` SSE event with no lifecycle effect.

Fix: route json-event-stream through `sendAgentEvent`, mirroring the
qoder-stream-json wiring at line 4175.

## Bug 3 — `apps/daemon/src/server.ts:4220-4234`

Even after Bugs 1 and 2 are fixed, there's still a class of runs where
OpenCode never emits any error frame, never emits any substantive
event, and exits 0. Pre-fix this was marked `succeeded` and the user
saw a blank chat with no diagnostic.

Fix: track `agentProducedOutput` inside `sendAgentEvent` (set on
`text_delta`, `thinking_delta`, `tool_use`, `tool_result`, `artifact`
— deliberately NOT on `status` / `usage`, since a model can emit
token-usage numbers for an empty completion). When the close handler
sees `code === 0 && trackingSubstantiveOutput && !agentProducedOutput`
the run is marked `failed` with an explicit AGENT_EXECUTION_FAILED
SSE error so the chat shows a clear reason instead of a silent
empty turn.

The check is gated by `trackingSubstantiveOutput` so it only fires
on streams that actually contribute to the output flag (currently
qoder-stream-json and json-event-stream). ACP sessions and plain
stdout streams keep their existing success/failure determination.

## Tests

- 3 new unit tests in `apps/daemon/tests/json-event-stream.test.ts`
  pin the OpenCode error event shape: full repro
  (`error.data.message`), `error.name` fallback, and the
  generic-fallback shape when `error` is empty.
- All 60 daemon test files (851 tests) pass on `pnpm --filter
  @open-design/daemon test`. All 42 web test files (309 tests) pass
  on `pnpm --filter @open-design/web test`.
- Full repo `pnpm typecheck` clean.

## Live verification

Verified end-to-end via a stub `opencode` binary that mimics each of
the failure shapes against `pnpm tools-dev run web`:

1. Stub emits `{"type":"error",...}` then `exit 0` — run now ends as
   `failed` with the OpenCode error message surfaced as an SSE
   `error` event. Pre-fix this was `succeeded` with an empty chat.
2. Stub emits nothing then `exit 0` — run now ends as `failed` with
   "Agent completed without producing any output…" diagnostic.
   Pre-fix this was `succeeded` with an empty chat.
3. Stub emits a normal `step_start` / `text` / `step_finish` sequence
   then `exit 0` — run still succeeds. (Regression check.)

## Out of scope (mentioned for the next person)

- `claude-stream-json` and `copilot-stream-json` still wire to a bare
  `(ev) => send('agent', ev)` and don't currently parse `type:'error'`
  frames. If their CLIs ever start emitting structured error events
  the same pattern (route through `sendAgentEvent` + emit proper
  `type:'error'`) applies. Not in scope here because we have no
  evidence those CLIs do this today, and changing the wiring without
  a confirmed failure mode risks regressing currently-working flows.
- ACP sessions (`pi-rpc`, `acp-json-rpc`) own their own success /
  failure determination via `acpSession?.hasFatalError()` and the
  empty-output guard explicitly skips them via
  `trackingSubstantiveOutput`.
- Plain stdout streams have no event-level tracking, so the empty-
  output guard skips them too. Diagnosing a no-output plain-stream
  agent is a separate problem that needs different signals.
