[CLI] Replace stack-trace-style errors with plain English messages #178

@ottovlotto

Description

@ottovlotto

Per spec v0.12 backlog #27 + UI Copy section. Replace stack-trace-style CLI error messages with plain English — full replacement table in the spec (~18 strings).

Examples:

  • --moddable: no GitHub origin configured... → "Your app can't be modded yet — no GitHub repo is connected. Create a public GitHub repo, push your code, then re-run. Or use --no-moddable to skip this."
  • Registry publish transaction reverted → "Publishing to the playground registry failed. Your domain may already be taken, or there was a network issue. Try again."
  • All funders exhausted → "Your account doesn't have enough tokens to continue. Visit faucet.polkadot.io to top up."

Full table in spec v0.12 → "Plain English error messages → CLI errors"
