Every catch unreachable, orelse unreachable and syscall assert outside tests is a real refusal or says why it cannot fire

A sweep for round 23's crash: a run's answer (pty/run) was bufPrint'd into 48 bytes with catch unreachable, so a foreground program's long name (macOS gives up to 32 bytes) panicked; it now cuts at the room, keeping its newline, in 96 bytes. The rest were numbers into buffers sized for them, a braille codepoint, pthread calls on the queue's own mutex, and pdf_view's resolved outline entries: each now carries a one-line comment saying why it cannot fire.
