fix(app): enable automatic type inference from Dispatcher parameter

- Add explicit type parameters to dispatchers in dispatch.ts
- Introduce ApiResponse<Responses> type combining SuccessVariants and HttpErrorVariants
- Remove ApiFailure type alias (use BoundaryError directly for boundary errors)
- HttpErrorVariants (non-2xx schema responses) now in success channel, discriminate by status
- BoundaryError (TransportError, ParseError, etc.) in error channel, discriminate by _tag
- Types now automatically inferred: `const result = yield* client.GET(path, dispatcher)`

This addresses the reviewer feedback: "apiClient.GET и так должен вернуть тип"
The dispatcher parameter now carries the response types, enabling TypeScript to
infer the full ApiResponse type without explicit annotations.
