@yurishkuro,
I’ve updated the tests as suggested and restored the panic in tracegen/main.go.
Please let me know if there’s anything else to tweak.

@yurishkuro thanks for the review!
I noticed a small coverage change due to the new error-handling paths — let me know if you’d like me to add tests for those cases, happy to do so.

Pull request overview

This PR improves CLI robustness by removing panic()-based error handling and replacing it with returned/propagated errors that can be handled gracefully by callers.

Changes:

Updated ParseJaegerTags to return (map[string]string, error) and added tests for invalid tag inputs.
Updated es-rollover and es-index-cleaner configs to return errors from InitFromViper instead of panicking, and updated callers/tests to handle these errors.
Adjusted tests to assert error behavior rather than panic behavior.

PR description states that cmd/tracegen/main.go was updated to replace the logger-creation panic with graceful stderr reporting, but that change is not present in this PR’s diffs. Either include the cmd/tracegen/main.go update (it currently still panics on logger build failure) or adjust the PR description/scope so it matches the actual changes.
