Some of the messages printed by UpdateDnsCommand and related classes are terse, inconsistent, or overly technical. Improving these messages would make the tool easier to understand when something goes wrong, especially for users running it manually or reviewing logs.

Proposed enhancements

  • Standardize the tone and structure of error messages
  • Make messages more descriptive (e.g., “Could not retrieve DNS records for example.com” instead of “Invalid records”)
  • Include relevant context when helpful (domain, record name, expected vs actual values)
  • Avoid leaking raw API responses unless necessary
  • Ensure messages are consistent across all error paths

Benefits

  • Better UX for manual runs
  • Clearer logs for debugging
  • More predictable behavior for future contributors
