Ensure exec command end always emitted (#1908)

## Summary
- defer ExecCommandEnd emission until after sandbox resolution
- make sandbox error handler return final exec output and response
- align sandbox error stderr with response content and rename to
`final_output`
- replace unstable `let` chains in client command header logic

## Testing
- `just fmt`
- `just fix`
- `cargo test --all-features` *(fails: NotPresent in
core/tests/client.rs)*
