Exit codes

b8e follows the grep/eslint convention: 0 clean, 1 findings, 2+ operational error — so a CI step can swallow findings without swallowing a crash. Generated from the CLI_EXIT constant.

Name	Code	Meaning
clean	0	ran to completion, nothing gated.
findings	1	ran, produced gating findings. ADVISORY: this is exactly the code a dogfood continue-on-error: true is meant to swallow.
crash	2	the tool FAILED TO RUN to a valid result: an uncaught throw, an unresolvable --base, a broken baseline, or a failure to emit valid SARIF. DISTINCT from findings so a crash is never conflated with clean-or-advisory and never swallowed to green (#2785).
auth	2	not authenticated / no usable credential (run b8e login).
run	3	the audit ran but produced no usable result.
config	4	missing/invalid invocation config: no org context, or an absent --project / --journeys / --group in a non-interactive run.
environment	5	the browser/host environment isn’t ready for a launch.
