fix(cli): report launcher config errors without tracebacks

[ayushag-nv]

Why

A missing OPENROUTER_API_KEY exits correctly but prints a full Python traceback. This makes an expected configuration failure look like an internal crash.

Tracks SWITCH-1251.

What

Expose native configuration failures as ServerConfigError and render them as a one-line CLI error. Unexpected server runtime failures remain RuntimeError and keep their traceback.

The reported failure now reads:

error: invalid server config /home/ayush-lab/Work/Switchyard/switchyard/cli/defaults/openrouter.toml: llm client openrouter could not read api_key_env OPENROUTER_API_KEY: environment variable not found

How

load_server_state maps configuration failures to a typed PyO3 exception. The launcher translates only that exception, and the CLI exits through argparse.

Where to Start Review

Start with crates/switchyard-py/src/server_bindings.rs, then follow the exception through switchyard/cli/launchers/native_server.py and switchyard/cli/switchyard_cli.py.

Test Plan

• uv run pytest tests/ -v — 147 passed
• cargo test --workspace
• cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
• uv run ruff check .
• uv run mypy switchyard
• Manual missing-key launch: exit 1, one error line, no traceback

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added dedicated configuration errors for invalid native server settings.
  • Exposed server configuration errors through the Python API.

• Bug Fixes

  • The CLI now reports configuration problems with a clear error message and exits cleanly with status 1 instead of showing a traceback.
  • Missing required API configuration is now identified specifically.

Walkthrough

The change adds dedicated configuration exceptions to the Rust binding and Python launcher. The CLI catches launcher configuration errors, exits with status 1, and prints a formatted message. Tests cover missing API key handling and CLI output.

Changes

Configuration Error Flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Rust configuration exception and binding crates/switchyard-py/src/errors.rs, crates/switchyard-py/src/server_bindings.rs, switchyard_rust/server.py	The Rust binding defines and registers ServerConfigError. Configuration-loading failures raise this exception with the underlying message. Python exports both Server and ServerConfigError.
Python launcher exception adapter switchyard/cli/launchers/native_server.py	NativeServer converts ServerConfigError into the exported NativeServerConfigError while preserving exception chaining.
CLI error reporting and validation switchyard/cli/switchyard_cli.py, tests/test_launchers.py	The CLI catches NativeServerConfigError, exits with status 1, and prints an error: message. Tests cover missing OPENROUTER_API_KEY and traceback-free CLI output.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 023e5

Configuration failures are now reported without tracebacks, but malformed TOML may still produce multi-line CLI errors instead of the intended single-line message. The PR is mergeable with owner awareness and a small follow-up to normalize that output.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with a tidy new error trail,
Rust names the fault when configs fail.
Python wraps it, clear and bright,
The CLI prints one line just right.
No traceback hops across the night.
