* Assistant: say when an installed agent can't start, and how to reinstall it (#9034)

An agent whose program is found but fails its `--version` check without
printing a version (npm's opencode.exe left as a placeholder when the
package's setup script did not run, which Windows refuses with "not
compatible with the version of Windows you're running") was listed like
a working one, and connecting only said "The agent stopped." with the
system's message.

Discovery now keeps why the program did not start: the spawn error
(Windows' `%1` replaced with the program) or, through a `.cmd` shim, the
first stderr line or the exit status. A probe that times out still says
nothing. The picker shows "Installed, but it does not start: ...", and
connecting first explains it with the agent's install command and Refresh.
The control channel status carries `problem`.
