TIER-2 READ conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md end-to-end before Phase 5: refactor(gui_2): migrate L1284 _populate_auto_slices outline to Result[T] (Phase 5)

Extract _populate_auto_slices_outline_result helper from the
mcp_client.{py,ts_c,ts_cpp}_get_code_outline try/except in
App._populate_auto_slices. Legacy wrapper drains errors to
app._last_request_errors per FR-BC-4 event-handler pattern.
