workflow: render thrown script values inside the realm's execution window

Codex code-review round 3: the round-2 'contained stack getter' still let a
script escape the vm sync-slice timeout — throw { get stack() { while(true){} } }
put the spin on the HOST catch path, where no timeout applies (verified: a
direct sync-slice spin dies by the timeout; the getter-hidden one hung the
process). Identity-trusting the native getter is also insufficient: V8 stack
formatting reads script-controllable hooks at format time (Error.prepareStackTrace,
a subclass name getter — both empirically confirmed), so ANY host-side
formatting of a realm error can run realm code.

The fix moves rendering into the realm itself: the compiled body (and the meta
literal) is wrapped in a realm-side catch that pre-renders the thrown value to
a string (REALM_THROWN_RENDERER_SOURCE) — a hostile accessor/toString now runs
as ordinary script code, killed by the sync-slice timeout or falling under the
documented post-await spin limitation; host WorkflowErrors pass through for
the CANCELLED mapping. The host catch descriptor-reads the pre-rendered string
(thrownRendering) or falls back to describeThrown, which invokes no getter
whose identity is not the host realm's own native stack getter.

Tests: hostile-table expectations updated for realm-side rendering; new
regressions for the getter-hidden sync spin dying by the vm timeout (engine +
meta paths) and for a hostile thenable rejection that bypasses the realm
wrapper (renders host-side, proxy labelled, traps never run); describeThrown/
thrownRendering unit tables including the realm-error identity-mismatch case.

**Realm boundary**: values entering the host (meta, hook options, schemas, the return value) go through `materializeFromRealm` — a descriptor walk that NEVER invokes accessors (the repo's `isJsonValue` is prototype-strict and getter-invoking, so it cannot run first; it would reject every cross-realm object and let realm code run outside the timed window) and rejects loud everything JSON cannot carry, proxies included (the trap-free `util.types.isProxy`, checked before any inspection, so realm-side traps never run on the host stack), copying via `Object.defineProperty` so a `"__proto__"` key becomes a data property, never a prototype mutation. Values entering the realm (`args`, `agent()` results) are rebuilt INSIDE the realm via the context's own `JSON.parse`, and `parallel`/`pipeline` resolve to realm-built arrays, so the script never holds a live host-prototype object. Realm functions (stages, thunks) are called, never materialized.
**Containment**: every hook-returned promise carries a no-op rejection consumer, so a script that drops a promise cannot surface an unhandled rejection when cancellation rejects it — `dsh-app-boot` exits the process on unhandled rejections. Thrown script values (and meta-evaluation throws) are rendered by the total `describeThrown` — fixed labels for proxies/functions, own-descriptor reads, `String()` only on primitives, and a CONTAINED stack-getter call (modern V8 makes `stack` an own accessor on real Errors; a hostile getter's throw is swallowed) — so a hostile thrown value can neither escape the catch path raw nor make `result` reject. Caps (`maxConcurrentAgents` auto = `min(16, cores - 2)`, `maxTotalAgents` 1000, `maxItemsPerCall` 4096) and timeouts are validated Config, not literals.

Thrown script/meta values are pre-rendered to a string by a realm-side catch compiled into the wrapper (rendering runs inside the realm's own execution window, so a hostile `stack` getter dies by the vm sync-slice timeout like any other script code — host-side formatting of realm errors is unfixable in general, since V8 stack formatting invokes script-controllable `name`/`prepareStackTrace` hooks); the host catch descriptor-reads that string or falls back to `describeThrown` (fixed labels, own-data reads, an identity-verified host-native stack getter), so `result` cannot reject.
