Interesting, I would expect an execute() failure to raise an exception, I'll have to check.

Is the failing addon one you also control or some third party addon ? If it's yours, you could run the code from
execute() part (or a check if the execute() run can succeed) to apply() and set the spoke to not-ready, set spoke
statusa to "reinstall needed" and show a warning bar. That should prevent users from continuing to the broken system.
