opencli follows Unix sysexits.h conventions so it integrates naturally with shell pipelines and CI scripts.

|---|---|---|
0 | Success | Command completed normally |
1 | Generic error | Unexpected / unclassified failure |
2 | Usage error | Bad arguments or unknown command |
66 | Empty result | No data returned (EX_NOINPUT) |
69 | Service unavailable | Browser Bridge not connected (EX_UNAVAILABLE) |
75 | Temporary failure | Command timed out โ retry (EX_TEMPFAIL) |
77 | Auth required | Not logged in to target site (EX_NOPERM) |
78 | Config error | Missing credentials or bad config (EX_CONFIG) |

Example: branch on exit code
opencli spotify status || echo "exit $?" # 69 if browser not running
opencli gh issue list 2>/dev/null
