Error Handling

• If bd errors (Dolt server down): surface it loudly and tell the user to run bd dolt start, then re-run /status. Do NOT silently skip Beads sections. Only if bd is genuinely not installed, note "(bd not installed)".
• If gh is not installed: skip PR sections, note "(gh CLI not configured)"
• If not in a git repo: report error and stop
