local status -o X should always emit valid yaml | json

[foxish]

./signadot local status -o json
Error: signadot is not connected

This is not valid JSON, which will make it hard to stitch this command into a workflow

Same issue exists on connect and disconnect as well.

It sounds like we might not have the same expectations, so I'd suggest discussing this issue more.

Here is what I'd expect for facilitating stitching this into a workflow:

1. -o refers to output, NOT stderr.
2. local status should NOT consider being disconnected an command invocation error, nor should it consider an error in communicating with locald a command invocation error, rather, these should be part of the status and local status should almost never exit non-zero.
3. Upon command invocation error, the error messages are placed on stderr, and the output is not necessarily coherent.
4. local connect and local disconnect should return errors/exit non-zero when already connected or respectively already disconnected to help the wrapper confirm the expected state.

For reference, here is a related issue to using the cobra framework.
