While local development environments typically serve assets from the root, production environments often deploy to specific subdirectories or CDNs. When the base path configuration in the build settings is misaligned with the actual deployment directory, the Qwi

The script must terminate immediately upon any failure that may corrupt downstream steps, yet it must also preserve cleanup and error reporting. Constraint: Bash Error‑Handling Semantics Using set -e alone causes the script to exit on the first
