📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughFatal logging was removed from the logging API and implementations. Callers now log errors or warnings, then explicitly exit, return, or panic across command, server, controller, executor, utility, and telemetry paths. ChangesFatal logging removal
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to The refactor moves process termination from the logging module into its callers, but some error paths can still continue after reporting a fatal condition, potentially causing nil dereferences or partially initialized components; related artifact, telemetry, and close-failure paths can also report success or lose observability. The current head is not merge-ready until these bounded correctness and observability risks are fixed or explicitly accepted. Possibly related PRs

- Around line 240-243: Preserve close-failure propagation in both deferred
handlers: in util/file/fileutil.go lines 240-243, update the filepath.Walk
callback to use a named result and return closeErr only when no earlier error
exists; in workflow/executor/executor.go lines 1102-1105, use named returns and
assign closeErr to retErr. Keep existing errors authoritative.
In `@util/telemetry/metrics.go`:
- Around line 99-101: Update NewMetrics at util/telemetry/metrics.go:99-101 and
NewTracing at util/telemetry/tracing.go:127-129 so each invalid OTLP protocol
default branch returns an error instead of only logging and continuing with a
partially configured provider.
