 CLI commands exit with standard codes:
 - **Exit 0** — success
-- **Exit 1** — user error (missing flags, invalid input, validation failure)
-- **Exit 2** — auth error (invalid key, unreachable API)
+- **Exit 1** — your input needs changing (missing flags, malformed id, over-limit or duplicate batch, blank required text, unknown enum value). Also a business refusal on some commands, e.g. `approvals`.
+- **Exit 2** — the request was fine and the API refused or failed, OR an internal defect
+- **Exit 3** — auth (invalid, missing or unresolvable key)
+
+**Branch on the `code` in the `--json` error envelope, not on the number alone.** Exit 1 is
+`VALIDATION_ERROR` for bad input but is also used by commands that report a refusal (there the
+outcome is on stdout, not stderr). Exit 2 splits into `API_ERROR` (the server refused; a
+different request may work) and `UNKNOWN_ERROR` (our defect; an identical retry fails
+identically). The code is the signal for whether retrying with different input can help.
 
 Error messages go to stderr. When `--json` is set, the error is still on stderr so stdout stays parseable. Common errors:

+**Exit codes carry the outcome, because a refusal is not always an error.** Credit notes refuse with HTTP 200, `isSuccess:false`, and an `approvalStatus` that still reads `APPROVED` — the document's state, not the call's. `0` = approved · `1` = refused, UNCONFIRMED, **or your input was rejected before anything was sent** · `2` = API error. Never read HTTP 200 or `approvalStatus` as success.

+Exit 1 carries three meanings here, so **read the JSON, not the number**: a refusal or UNCONFIRMED writes an outcome to **stdout** (`{"approved": false}` / `null`), while a rejected input writes `{"error":{"code":"VALIDATION_ERROR"}}` to **stderr** and nothing to stdout. Only the first two mean the request reached the API.
