Review feedback on #102: a manifest that can't be read should raise an
exception, not call die() (a SystemExit). That SystemExit was the whole
reason the dashboard had to special-case Die.
manifest.py now raises ManifestError (a plain Exception) for every
validation failure. The CLI dispatcher catches it and prints+exits 1
(same UX as before); the dashboard catches it with a normal
`except ManifestError` and degrades to a status-line warning. Manifest
tests assert on ManifestError + its message.
