When I run `cdktf deploy <stack>` and type `yes` and `<RETURN>`, the CLI tool will create a lock file, run for maybe a few seconds, show some progress, the lock file will be deleted, and exit with the message `non-zero exit code 1`

```auto
Summary: 0 created, 0 updated, 0 destroyed.non-zero exit code 1

```

Can CDKTF provide more information about why it exited?

You can set `CDKTF_LOG_LEVEL` env variable. E.g., `CDKTF_LOG_LEVEL=debug dktf deploy ...`
