Research direction

Start by reproducing the cryptography error from the `harperdb register` command with an invalid license key, then trace the registration and license-validation entry points. The work is done when invalid keys produce a user-friendly validation message instead of the crypto error; add or update the relevant test if the existing test structure identifies one.
