CLI Crash: [API Error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'error')] triggered by AbortError

[pablorgarrido]

What happened?

While using the CLI, the application crashed with an "API Error". Looking at the Debug Console, it appears to be triggered by an AbortError (The user aborted a request), followed by a React state update error (Cannot update a component...).

Error Output:

1 > ✕ [API Error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'error')]
2 >
3 > Debug Console:
4 > error: AbortError: The user aborted a request.
5 > at abort (...\node-fetch\lib\index.js:1458:16)
6 > ...
7 > ✖ Cannot update a component (`InputPrompt`) while rendering a different component (`AppContainer`).
8 > ```

What did you expect to happen?

The CLI should handle the request abort/cancellation gracefully without crashing the entire application or throwing an unhandled exception regarding undefined properties.
