Follow-up implementation for #6674.

Proposed Changes

  • replace panic paths in loader with proper error returns:
    • missing dialers by execution id
    • nil waitgroup in template loading path
  • update function signatures to propagate errors:
    • Store.Load
    • Store.LoadTemplates
    • Store.LoadTemplatesWithTags
  • update all affected callers to handle and propagate returned errors:
    • runner, lazy auth path, sdk/multi-sdk, integration test entry, server sdk, automaticscan
  • include regression test for missing dialers error path
  • include benchmark/test call-site updates for new return signatures
  • include nitpick cleanup from review pass:
    • avoid redundant Wrapf(..., "%s", err) wrapping in SDK entry points
    • use require.ErrorContains in loader tests

Proof

# compile-check for touched integration/sdks paths
go test ./lib ./internal/server ./cmd/integration-test -run TestNonExistent -count=1
# behavioral/unit checks for modified runtime paths
go test ./pkg/catalog/loader ./pkg/protocols/common/automaticscan ./internal/runner -count=1

Checklist

  • PR created against dev
  • Tests/compile checks provided for touched paths
  • Regression assertion added for dialer-missing error behavior

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Template-loading failures now surface clear, propagated errors; missing or duplicate templates are detected and reported.
    • Missing connectors/dialers now produce explicit errors instead of silent failures.
  • Refactor

    • Template-loading APIs and execution paths updated to return and propagate load errors so callers halt or handle failures gracefully.
    • Error messages standardized and simplified for clearer reporting.
  • Tests

    • Added a test verifying error reporting when required dialers/connectors are missing.
