API: sketch.move() throws RuntimeError on downstream feature errors, but native Move/Copy tool completes operation

Hello,

I'm developing an Add-in that moves sketch entities. When using sketch.move() and the operation causes downstream features (like Extrude, Fillet) to fail, the API throws a RuntimeError and the entire operation is cancelled.

However, the native Move/Copy tool in Fusion behaves differently:

The move operation completes successfully
Downstream errors are shown in the Feature Health panel
Failed features turn yellow/red in the Timeline
User can decide to fix errors later or Undo

My question: Is there a way to make sketch.move() behave like the native tool - complete the operation and report errors through Feature Health instead of throwing an exception?

I've searched for options like suppressErrors, allowComputeErrors, or isComputeDeferred but couldn't find anything in the API.

Thank you!

Create a simple design:
- Create a sketch with a rectangle
- Extrude it
- Add fillets to edges
Run the script above
Expected (like native tool): Sketch moves, errors shown in Feature Health panel
Actual: RuntimeError thrown, sketch not moved at all

---------------------------
Error Show
---------------------------
RuntimeError - operation cancelled:

3 : Extrude1 / Compute Failed // NO_TARGET_BODY - No target body!
Fillet1 / 1 Reference Failures The edge reference is lost and this feature is using cached geometry. Edit this feature and select new edge references. // EDGE_REFERENCE_LOST - Edge 1 missing / Compute Failed // FILLET_NO_EDGE_FOUND - No fillet edge found.
