fix(moshscript): keep code in the result under --dry-run (#139)

runMoshcode() is documented "Returns { ok, code } — always" and shell() as
"Returns { ok, code } so scripts can branch on the exit status", but both
dropped `code` on the --dry-run path. A script written to the documented
convention read `undefined` and took the failure branch on a dry run where
nothing was spawned and nothing failed.

Add `code: 0` to both dry-run returns. Real runs are untouched and still
report the true exit status.

Adds test/dryrun-result-code.test.mjs (11 tests).

+// TRUE exit status, and that dry-run still narrates instead of spawning — so
+// the fix cannot buy a passing `.code` by pretending every command succeeded
+// or by quietly executing the command for real.
