Research direction
Start by locating the mv/rename command handling and the existing exit-status logic, then reproduce a successful operation to observe how $? is reported. Done means successful mv/rename commands set $? correctly without reporting failure, while failed operations still report failure; consider whether the same behavior affects other operations.
