(timeout budget node) bounds a node deterministically: nodes opt in via (tick),
budget ticks are allowed, the next raises flow-timeout. No scheduler/clock in pure
SX so the budget is a step count, not wall-clock. Budgets nest and are per-run.

(retry n node) re-runs up to n attempts on a raised exception; the last attempt's
exception propagates. Explicit (fail ...) values are NOT retried — they pass through.

(try-catch node handler) runs node; on a raised exception calls (handler error)
with the reified error via Scheme guard, returns the handler value.

Explicit (fail reason) values flow downstream as data and are inspected with
failed?/fail-reason — distinct from raised exceptions (retry/try-catch territory).

Phase 2 control flow. (branch pred then else) selects then/else node by running
pred on the threaded input; named 'branch' since 'cond' is a Scheme special form.

Flow combinators as a Scheme prelude loaded onto scheme-standard-env; a flow is a
Scheme procedure input->output, run inside the interpreter (sets up Phase 3 call/cc
suspend). flow/start entry point, conformance runner, scoreboard.
