DSH is not connected; run `{CLI_COMMAND} connect`

Error message

DSH is not connected; run `{CLI_COMMAND} connect`

What it means

Raised in run_dsh's connect-status flow: the DSH integration status report contains no connection record, meaning DSH was never connected for this workspace. Operations that require an existing connection refuse to proceed and direct the user to run the CLI connect command first.

Solutions

1. Run `codewhale connect` first to establish the DSH integration
2. Then retry the update command
3. Verify the receipt file was not deleted
