Description

The CLI has gotten more complex over time and there are new error conditions that we could probably handle better. Would be great to:

  • Review existing error handling (specifically in the agent side of the CLI; the rest will be deprecated in time)
  • Catch errors we currently miss (sometimes we hit the rate limit and we don't signal that at all clearly)
  • Otherwise make it clear to users how to recover from a bump in the road

Research direction

Start by reviewing existing error handling in the agent side of the CLI, which the issue identifies as the active area. Trace missed conditions such as rate-limit responses and determine how errors reach the UI. The work is done when relevant failures are clearly surfaced and users are told how to recover.
