Result broadcast failed

Error message

Result broadcast failed

What it means

broadcastResult() failed to publish the completed task's result to the hive via hiveMind.broadcast (connection loss or hive error). The catch logs the task id and re-raises wrapped in QEHiveError, since downstream agents missed the result notification.
