Issue #166: snapshot --script exits non-zero when a scripted request fails

`fn snapshot` wrote every reply but never looked at `ok`, so a script with a
bad `ui.set`, an unknown command or a failed `ui.screenshot` exited 0 while
the PNG showed the wrong view or was never written. The run now counts
replies with `"ok": false`, keeps going (every reply still reaches stdout and
the final `-o` screenshot is still written — continue-and-report, like
`run --keep-going`) and returns `N scripted request(s) failed` afterwards,
which `main` turns into exit 1. Usage text and docs/control-protocol.md
"Headless rendering" state the contract.

Replies go to stdout. `ui.screenshot` without a path writes -o (then
OUT-2.png, OUT-3.png…); `ui.settle {timeoutMs?}` waits for renders.
A failed request (\"ok\": false) does not stop the script, but the exit
