Ladder Summary
- file This lane updates **numkit‑cli** so that the CLI cleanly handles the `RangeError` thrown by `average()` when given no numbers, converting the raw stack trace into a user‑friendly error message. It adds a `main(argv)` wrapper that catches any exception from `run(argv)` and returns a `{ok, output}` or `{ok, message}` object, and the entry‑point script prints the result or a prefixed “error:” line and exits with status 1. The module exports the two functions **run** (executes the command) and **main** (error‑capturing wrapper).
