dialectic_query collapsed every backend failure to an empty string, so
the explicit honcho_reasoning tool rendered timeouts, server errors,
and genuinely-empty answers identically as 'No result from Honcho.'
(#36098 issue 4). Operators debugging 'search works but reasoning does
not' were sent down representation/observation rabbit holes when the
real cause was a 30s timeout on a medium-reasoning dialectic call.
Add raise_errors to dialectic_query (default false — automatic
injection keeps its fail-quiet behavior and cadence backoff) and pass
it from the explicit tool call, returning a tool error that names the
failure and points at the timeout knob. Auth errors keep their
dedicated handler.
