TIER-2 READ conductor/code_styleguides/error_handling.md end-to-end before Phase 8: refactor(gui_2): migrate L897 _capture_workspace_profile to Result[T] (Phase 8)

Migrate the imgui.save_ini_settings_to_memory try/except in
App._capture_workspace_profile (L897) to the canonical Result[T] pattern:

- Extract _capture_workspace_profile_ini_result(app) -> Result[str]
  helper into Phase 8 Property Setter / State Result Helpers region.
- The legacy _capture_workspace_profile method calls the helper and
  drains errors to app._last_request_errors (per FR-BC-4 event-handler
  drain pattern; this is a property setter on the App).
- The original fallback behavior (ini = '' on failure) is preserved
  so the legacy WorkspaceProfile still constructs with empty ini_content.

Tests:
- test_phase_8_l897_capture_workspace_profile_ini_result_success
- test_phase_8_l897_capture_workspace_profile_ini_result_failure

Audit: INTERNAL_BROAD_CATCH count in src/gui_2.py is now 0. All 22
INTERNAL_BROAD_CATCH sites originally in src/gui_2.py have been
migrated to Result[T] across Phases 3-8.
