Description
Currently, we hit a type-assert if the generator failed, but it would be great if generally we could show the user the generator that failed.

Research direction
Start at the type assertion in src/Cthulhu.jl around lines 852-855, where the generator failure is currently handled. Trace the failing-generator path and determine what is needed to let the user step into it; done means the failed generator can be shown to and entered by the user instead of triggering the type assertion.
