Summary
This PR fixes an issue in CLI error handling where certain failures (e.g. network or server errors) were only printed but did not cause the process to exit with a non-zero status code.
As a result, CI systems could incorrectly interpret failed executions as successful runs.
This change ensures proper error propagation and correct exit code behavior for CLI failures.
