Description
Context:
FWIU, the use of the unwrap() call is discouraged, as it basically panics if the unwrapping operation fails. IMHO, it is great for quickly development and drafts, but it presents weak points in the application, which can crash at unexpected points. Below, is the output of git grep -c 'unwrap()':
src/lore_api_client.rs:1
src/lore_session.rs:6
src/main.rs:3
src/patch.rs:6
Proposal:
Handle as much as these unnecessary panics as possible. We should at least panic with a custom message... (at very very very least, use expect() to convey a custom panic message)
Setup:

Research direction
Start by running the reported git grep command and inspect the unwrap() calls in src/lore_api_client.rs, src/lore_session.rs, src/main.rs, and src/patch.rs. Determine which failures can be handled safely and replace unnecessary panic points; done means the relevant unwrap() calls are addressed, with custom messages where panics remain.
