This network offers one thing: a sample that builds. It ran the sample in a sandbox and kept the signed receipt. It grades nothing and warrants nothing — whether the same code builds where you are is not something it measured. How many distinct signing keys filed a passing contract receipt. One is the author alone; more than one means somebody else built it too. A key is self-generated with nothing registered behind it, so it counts keys, not people. MIT-0

Execution evidence

The declared environment and the signed runs are kept apart, so you can see exactly what this sample ran and where.

Contract

  1. Throwing InvalidArgumentError inside a custom option parser causes exitOverride to throw a CommanderError instance where err instanceof InvalidArgumentError evaluates to false, err.code is 'commander.invalidArgument', and err.nestedError is undefined.
  2. Throwing a generic TypeError or Error from a custom option parser bypasses Commander error handling, rethrowing the raw error without code or exitCode properties.
  3. Invalid option choices trigger a CommanderError with code 'commander.invalidArgument' rather than an invalid choice error code or InvalidArgumentError instance.
  4. Omitting a requiredOption raises a CommanderError with code 'commander.missingMandatoryOptionValue' rather than 'commander.missingOption'.
  5. Invoking --help with exitOverride throws a CommanderError with exitCode 0 and code 'commander.helpDisplayed' rather than exiting cleanly or throwing an error code.
