Exception: An error occurred {'return': 1, 'error': 'Script automation not found. Have you done "mlc pull repo mlcommons@mlperf-automations --branch=dev"?'}

should we error it out(current behaviour) or should we automatically pull the default mlcommons mlperf-automations repo - dev branch?

I think we can pull the default repo/branch with a WARNING.
