Solutions

1. Run the script manually and observe its exit code and output.
2. Add `set -e` and explicit echo-to-stderr diagnostics to the script.
3. Check the script's shebang/interpreter exists and file is executable.

Example fix

// before: silent failure
#!/bin/sh
test -f $REQUIRED && exit 0 || exit 1
// after
#!/bin/sh
test -f $REQUIRED || { echo "missing $REQUIRED" >&2; exit 1; }

fn script_ready(p: &std::path::Path) -> bool {
    p.exists()
        && p.metadata().map_or(false, |m| {
            use std::os::unix::fs::PermissionsExt;
            m.permissions().mode() & 0o111 != 0
        })
        && std::fs::read_to_string(p)
            .ok()
            .and_then(|c| c.lines().next().map(|l| l.starts_with("#!")))
            .unwrap_or(false)
}

match run_repo_script(&script_path) {
    Err(e) if e.to_string().ends_with("failed") => {
        eprintln!("script produced no output; run manually to debug:");
        eprintln!("  $ {}", script_path.display());
    }
    Err(e) => eprintln!("script error: {e}"),
    Ok(_) => {}
}

When it happens

Trigger: Script exits with a non-zero status while producing no output on either stream (silent failure, immediate crash, or signal kill).

Common situations: Scripts with `exit 1` and no message; missing interpreter causing silent failure; scripts killed by a signal; output swallowed by redirection inside the script.
