+The CLI keeps Markdown/JSON on stdout and API failures on stderr, including the error code
+and `retryAfter` when supplied; `invalid_api_key`, `payment_required` and `spend_cap_reached`
+name the platform dashboard. `crawl` and `batch` run hosted jobs (API key required) and write

+the same validation and honors `WEBFORAI_PLATFORM_URL`.
