fix: Improve error messages for missing main pipeline#5565
Conversation
Replace the generic "Missing main pipeline" error with context-aware messages that are more helpful for newcomers: - "No PRQL query entered" for empty queries/comments - "PRQL queries must begin with 'from'" for queries with declarations but no pipeline The new messages avoid compiler-centric terminology and provide clear, actionable guidance.
