Caveman Cloud platform is still in beta.

Error message

Caveman Cloud platform is still in beta.

What it means

blockCloudLoginWhileBeta is a hard gate that throws before any Cloud login work (argument parsing, network, browser, writes) because the Caveman Cloud platform is not yet open; device login is intentionally dormant.
