Output and exit codes

Output channels

• success and informational messages go to stdout

• help output is available through Picocli help commands

Exit codes

• 0 success

• 2 usage error

Startup checks

At startup, ocp:

• verifies required dependencies, currently git
• checks for a newer CLI release in both interactive and non-interactive flows
• reuses cached version metadata until at least 24 hours have passed since the previous check attempt

Update-check failures are non-fatal and should not block the main command flow.
