5/// Structured JSON error emitted on stdout when `--format json` is active and a
6/// command fails. It carries no `kind` discriminator: it is distinguished from
7/// the kind-tagged success envelopes by the required `error: true` field, and is
8/// a document-root branch alongside `FallowOutput` and `CodeClimateOutput` in
9/// `docs/output-schema.json`. Agents that pass `--format json` and observe a
10/// non-zero exit code parse this shape from stdout.
