This fixes the issue where cat --version or cat --help would silently succeed when output fails, like when redirecting to /dev/full. Now the error wrapper properly detects write failures and reports them with appropriate exit codes.
@oech3's concern on commit 9cc2e09, where the original error handling change prevented panics but also silently ignored write failures for version and help output.
