Let a node's failure outlive the run that followed it

A node's error cleared the moment it ran again, so a failure that genuinely
fired an alert could leave no trace on the canvas by the time anyone looked.
The engine records it now — on the node's status, so it survives a reload and
every client agrees — and reading the traceback is what clears it. The seam is
the event bus, which is where every failing path already meets: a queued live
run, an explicit run, a preview, and a single triggered node all publish
`node_error`, while the controller's own observer would have seen only one of
them.

That was half the confusion. The other half: clicking a failed neuron on Home
often landed on a flow where everything looked fine. Nodes merge into one
neuron by instance key — every InfluxDB node pointing at the same bucket is one
neuron — and the click went to whichever flow contributed a member first, not
the one that failed. It now goes to the failing member and selects it, and the
canvas marks a failing node rather than leaving it to the dot alone.

The inject node emitted one payload to every port it declared, whatever their
types, so an inject on a bool port carrying the text "true" raised at publish
time. Each port gets its own field now, typed and parsed by that port's dtype,
and remembers what it last sent. A port that is renamed carries its value with
it; one that is removed takes its value with it. An inject written before this
keeps emitting exactly what it did.

The derived-cron chip also appeared on the delay node, where `interval` is a
rate limit and a schedule derived from it means nothing.
