subconscious: a failed pass must not report as a quiet one

Browse source 
The Err branch surfaced the same 'no anomalies detected' text as the
success path, at Low urgency. A subconscious erroring on every turn was
indistinguishable from one noticing nothing. The only record of the real
cause was a tracing::warn on a stderr whose socket has no reader.

Carry the error in-band at High, and say the pass failed.
