fix(workflows): route 'workflow status --json' errors to stderr

[jawwad-ali]

What

specify workflow status <run_id> --json printed its lookup errors to stdout, corrupting the machine-readable JSON stream.

In workflow_status, the two run_id error handlers used the stdout console and fire before the if json_output: branch:

except FileNotFoundError:
    console.print(f"[red]Error:[/red] Run not found: {run_id}")   # -> stdout
except ValueError as exc:
    console.print(f"[red]Error:[/red] {_escape_markup(str(exc))}")  # -> stdout

So a consumer doing json.loads(stdout) on specify workflow status bad-id --json gets a Rich-rendered error line instead of parseable JSON.

Fix

Route both handlers through the existing _error_console(json_output) helper so they go to stderr under --json. This mirrors the sibling commands in the same file — workflow run (err.print(...), line ~1083) and workflow resume, which does the identical RunState.load try/except with the byte-identical Run not found: {run_id} message routed to stderr (line ~1188) — and the documented stdout-purity contract on _emit_workflow_json/_error_console. One file, minimal change; text output path is unchanged.

Test

test_status_json_not_found_error_goes_to_stderr asserts that under --json the not-found error appears on stderr and stdout stays empty (no partial JSON). Fails before the fix (the error was on stdout), passes after. Existing status boundary tests unchanged.

uvx ruff check  # clean
uv run pytest tests/test_workflows.py -k "status_json_not_found or status_run_not_found or status_no_run_id"  # pass
