π― Use case
This file lives under βcli/β, which covers the CLI transport, NDJSON/streaming I/O, and command handlers. On the API surface it exposes cliError and cliOk β mainly functions, hooks, or classes. What the file header says: CLI exit helpers for subcommand handlers. Consolidates the 4-5 line "print + lint-suppress + exit" block that was copy-pasted ~60 times across `claude mcp *` / `claude plugin *` handlers. The `: never` return type lets TypeScript narrow control flow at call sites without a traili.
Generated from folder role, exports, dependency roots, and inline comments β not hand-reviewed for every path.
