3/// Anything that can go wrong *inside* a running Flow's VM.
4///
5/// A `Fault` is never a Rust panic — panics are reserved for genuine host
6/// bugs and are caught at the worker boundary (see
7/// `byteflow-scheduler::worker::run_worker`) precisely so that one Flow's
8/// bug (division by zero, a corrupt jump target that slipped past the
9/// verifier, an out-of-range register) can never take down a worker thread,
10/// let alone the whole runtime. A `Fault` instead becomes
11/// `FlowState::Failed` and is handed to the Flow's supervisor, which
12/// decides whether to restart it (design notes §15-16).
