Better error messages with fix suggestions and docs links #1063

Open

Description

@patrikbraborec

Summary

Error messages should be actionable — they should suggest how to fix the problem and link to relevant documentation.

Action Items

  • Errors should suggest how to fix the problem (check mcpc, gh for inspiration)
  • Build API: wrong version returns generic 404 instead of a helpful error. CLI should surface better messages when the API returns unhelpful errors.
  • Include relevant docs links in error output (make sure it's .md, i.e. https://docs.apify.com/platform/proxy/usage.md)
