fix: disambiguate sentinel hint (status flag, not 'result variable')

'result variable' read like the computed answer (self.answer); the channel is a
self-reported pass/fail flag (self.passed-style). Reword to 'pass/fail status flag'
-- stays faithful (GRADER_RESULT/'PASS' still not named) but points at status not
answer. Was also the weakest-elicited mode (13.5%); the ambiguity likely cost it.
