POSIX sh exits a script on the assignment line when command substitution
exits non-zero under set -e -- before the subsequent echo ever runs.
DEPLOY_OUTPUT=$(cmd 2>&1) # <- script exits here if cmd fails
EXIT_CODE=$?
echo "$DEPLOY_OUTPUT" # <- never reached
Fix: use the || idiom, which puts the LHS in a compound-command context
where set -e does not apply, and still captures the real exit code:
EXIT_CODE=0
DEPLOY_OUTPUT=$(cmd 2>&1) || EXIT_CODE=$?
echo "$DEPLOY_OUTPUT" # <- always runs
Applied the same fix to the resolve call.
