Improve CLI error messages and recovery guidance #210

@Nanle-code

Description

@Nanle-code

Summary:
Several error paths in the CLI are too generic or incomplete. Contributors and users would benefit from more actionable messaging.

Why this matters:
Clear error messages reduce frustration and help users resolve issues quickly without relying on the maintainer team.

Proposed work:

  • Standardize error formatting across commands
  • Add practical next steps for common failures
  • Improve validation messages before actions are executed

Acceptance criteria:

  • Errors include clear context and suggested actions
  • Users can identify what went wrong without guesswork
  • Common failure cases are documented in output
