Review Summary
Great work on implementing the core logic for this file-moving utility! All the main requirements for moving and renaming files are correctly handled. However, I'm requesting a change to improve the application's robustness. The fs.statSync call used to check the destination path in src/app.js is not wrapped in a try...catch block. This can cause the application to crash with an unhandled error if it lacks the necessary permissions to access the destination. Please add error handling around this call, similar to how you handled the source file check, to ensure the program exits gracefully with a clear error message instead of crashing.

This fs.statSync call can throw an error if the script doesn't have permission to access the destination path. An unhandled error here will crash the application. It's good practice to wrap this in a try...catch block, similar to how you handled the check for the source file on lines 19-33.

Review Summary
Excellent work on this submission! You've successfully implemented all the core requirements for moving and renaming files, and the error handling is much more robust. Your solution is approved.
As a point of improvement for future projects, it's a standard convention for command-line tools to exit with a non-zero status code (e.g., process.exit(1)) when an error occurs. This helps other scripts correctly identify when your program has failed. While your current implementation works perfectly for its main purpose, adopting this convention will make your tools more robust and predictable for users.

When an error occurs, it's conventional for a command-line application to exit with a non-zero status code to signal failure. Exiting with 0 indicates success. For consistency with other error handling (like on line 31), consider changing this to process.exit(1).
