Description
When hermit install <pkg> fails, the output is often terse (e.g., "download failed" or "checksum mismatch") without context or next steps.
Enhancement: Include in error summaries:
- The exact URL that failed (if network)
- The expected vs actual checksum (if mismatch)
- Suggested actions: "retry with --no-verify", "check network/proxy", "update hermit index"
- Reference to docs for the specific error code
Example improvement:
❌ hermit install foo
Error: checksum mismatch for foo-1.2.3.tar.gz
Expected: abc123...
Actual: def456...
Suggestion: The package may have been updated. Run `hermit update` and retry.
This reduces frustration and support burden for package management.
