When a user attempts to add a package with a correct name but an incorrect UUID, the error message was previously a generic "package not registered". This could leave the user unsure of the root cause. This commit enhances the error handling to detect this specific scenario. If the provided package name exists in the registry but with a different UUID, the error message will now include the correct UUID(s) found for that package name, guiding the user toward the correct command. A new test case is added to ensure the new error message is triggered correctly and displays the expected information. Fixes #4267 This commit was written by an AI assistant.

Should this tell you what registry it came from?

Probably, but I got rate limited on Google Gemini CLI so I guess this is as good as it gets 🤣

You might be in luck, I might have been able to get some $300 free tier thingy.
