Replace bare except clauses with specific exception types - #975
Conversation
Bare except: catches BaseException, which includes KeyboardInterrupt and SystemExit. This prevents clean Ctrl-C shutdown and can swallow sys.exit() calls. Each clause is narrowed to the specific exception the try block can actually raise. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to The changes allow interrupts and explicit exits to propagate while preserving ordinary simulator failure handling. The intentional broad handler is documented as a bounded follow-up concern, but no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Keep the intentional top-level Exception handler in testSimulator() so ordinary simulator failures still produce exit code 1 while KeyboardInterrupt and SystemExit propagate. The repository does not currently configure a check that requires a suppression here; add a targeted suppression only if a configured lint check later flags this intentional handler.
