📄 Description

Fixes #797

Problem

When git is not installed on a periphery machine, stack operations fail with a misleading error:

Failed to validate run directory on host after stack write (canonicalize error): 
No such file or directory (os error 2)

This points users toward path/directory issues when the real cause is that git isn't installed, so the repo clone fails silently.

Solution

Early return on write failures — if the stack write (which includes git clone) produces errors, return those logs immediately instead of proceeding to canonicalize a non-existent directory
Descriptive error messages — the canonicalize error now includes the actual path and suggests checking that git is installed
Applied consistently across ComposePull, ComposeUp, and ComposeRun handlers
