//! Runs one Formal AI tool call for `--use-formal-ai` (issue #255). Mirrors
//! js/src/lib/formal-ai-tool.js.
//!
//! The call is the argv vector the effect policy approved, spawned without a
//! shell in the caller's working directory and with the execution's START_*
//! environment. It gets no stdin, its own process group, a time limit and an
//! output cap; stdout and stderr are mirrored live and the exit status is the
//! real one (a signal maps to 128+N like a direct run).
