CRITICAL: 79% of type assertions on Result.Value are bare (no comma-ok).
50 panic sites in core/go, ~100 in core/agent. Every r.Value.(string)
is a deferred panic that (string, error) would catch at compile time.
P8-1: 50/63 assertions bare — panic on wrong type
P8-2: Result is one type for everything — no compile-time safety
P8-3: Message/Query/Task all 'any' — no type routing
P8-4: Option.Value is 'any' — config becomes untyped bag
P8-5: ServiceFor returns (T,bool) not Result — Go generics limitation
P8-6: Fs validatePath returns Result then callers bare-assert string
P8-7: HandleIPCEvents wrong signature silently fails to register
P8-8: The Guardrail Paradox — Core trades compile-time safety for LOC
The fundamental tension: Result reduces LOC but every type assertion
is a deferred panic. Resolution: AX-7 Ugly tests + typed convenience
methods + accept that Result is a runtime contract.
