The channel to upload commands to the server has no way for those
errors to come back to the ‘dcut’ program as it runs. Is this
something the uploading program can detect, without connection to the
server? How, exactly?

As described, this is not an error in ‘dcut’ operation so I'm
adjusting severity to show this is a hoped-for feature.

I'm setting the outlook on this report to invite feedback if someone
can specify exactly what behaviour would implement this feature.
