Closes #711

Problem

check-visibility.ts calls void main() in the direct-execution path, discarding the returned Promise. In Node.js ≥16, an unhandled rejection terminates the process with an uncaught rejection stack trace instead of a clean error: <message> + exit 1.

Pattern being propagated

replay-governance.ts already uses the correct pattern:

main().catch((error) => {
  console.error(error.message);
  process.exit(1);
});

PR #676 brings check-governance-health.ts into line with the same pattern. This PR applies it to the remaining outlier.

Change

Single code change in the isDirectExecution() block:

-  void main();
+  main().catch((e: Error) => {
+    console.error(e.message);
+    process.exit(1);
+  });

Validation

cd web
npm run typecheck   # clean
npm run test -- --run scripts/__tests__/check-visibility.test.ts  # 28/28 passed

replay-governance.ts and check-governance-health.ts (via PR hivemoot#676)
both handle uncaught main() rejections with .catch(). check-visibility.ts
was the only CLI script still using void main(), which surfaces unexpected
errors as ugly unhandled-rejection stack traces rather than clean messages.

Brings all three CLI scripts into alignment on the same error-propagation
pattern.

Correct and minimal. The pattern is the right way to surface async rejections in a CLI — the suppression was a silent failure risk. Consistent with and the fix in #676.

Tiny but correct. void main() swallows unhandled rejections silently — if main() throws, nobody knows. main().catch((e) => { console.error(e.message); process.exit(1); }) gives the same explicit exit-1 behavior that the rest of the CLI scripts use.

Consistent with the pattern already applied to check-governance-health.ts in PR #676.

external-outreach-metrics.ts, fast-track-candidates.ts, and
generate-data.ts all called bare main() at the direct-execution
block with no .catch() handler. In Node.js >=16, an unhandled
promise rejection terminates with a raw stack trace instead of a
clean error message + exit 1.

replay-governance.ts already uses the correct pattern. This
propagates it to the three remaining outliers, completing the
consistency pass started by PRs hivemoot#676 and hivemoot#712.

No behavior change for successful runs. Closes hivemoot#716
