test(spec): add comprehensive error handling tests for spec wizard

Add error handling tests covering three critical scenarios:

- Missing opencode binary: Tests verify proper dependency checking
- File already exists: Tests verify safe file operations with descriptive
  error messages and no data corruption
- Agent failures: Tests cover subprocess crashes, ACP protocol errors,
  API failures, context cancellation, and MCP communication errors

Tests verify proper error state management (finished=true, isRunning=false,
err!=nil), UI error display, context cancellation handling, and cleanup.

All 167 tests pass with 0 linter issues. Fixed errcheck warnings by properly
handling os.Setenv/Unsetenv return values in test code.
