Fixes #570

When wp theme mod set cannot save the value, it prints the failure through WP_CLI::success() and exits with 0:

$ wp theme mod set background_color 123456
Success: Could not update theme mod background_color.
$ echo $?
0

set() reads the mod back after set_theme_mod() and reports a failure when the stored value does not match, for example when a pre_set_theme_mod_{$name} filter changes it. That failure branch calls WP_CLI::success(), so scripts that check the exit code cannot see it.

The failure branch now uses WP_CLI::error() with the same message, so it prints Error: Could not update theme mod background_color. and exits with 1. The other failure paths in Theme_Mod_Command already use WP_CLI::error(). The success branch is unchanged.

Testing

Adds a scenario to features/theme-mod.feature, after "Setting theme mods". A mu-plugin adds a pre_set_theme_mod_background_color filter that returns a different value, then the scenario checks wp theme mod set background_color 123456 for the error, exit code 1 and an empty STDOUT.

• Without the fix, the scenario fails because the command prints Success: Could not update theme mod background_color. with exit status 0 (WordPress 7.1.4, MySQL 8.4).
• With the fix, features/theme-mod.feature passes (5 scenarios, WordPress 7.1.4, MySQL 8.4).
• PHPCS passes on src/Theme_Mod_Command.php. The linter, Gherkin lint and PHPStan pass.

AI assistance: I used Claude Code to find this and write the change; I reviewed and ran everything myself.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • The theme-mod set command now reports an error when the requested value is not saved, rather than indicating success. This helps clarify when a setting change has not taken effect, including when a filter alters or rejects the requested value.

Walkthrough

When a theme-mod update does not store the requested value, wp theme mod set now reports an error. A feature scenario checks the error output, empty stdout, and exit code 1.

Changes: Theme mod set failure

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Failure reporting and regression scenario src/Theme_Mod_Command.php, features/theme-mod.feature	When the stored value does not match the requested value, the command calls WP_CLI::error(). The feature scenario checks the error output, empty stdout, and exit code 1.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 03ad2

A theme-mod save can succeed but report failure when a read-time filter changes the returned value. Check the stored value directly to avoid misleading users and scripts; the risk is bounded to filtered values.
