Description
## Description
While setting up the OWASP Nest frontend locally, I encountered the following error:
"Configuration Error: GraphQL Client failed to initialize"
This occurs when the GraphQL backend is not configured or running.
## Issue
The current error message is not very informative for new contributors and may cause confusion during onboarding.
## Suggested Improvements
- Provide clearer setup instructions for required backend services
- Improve the error message to indicate that the backend may not be running or environment variables are missing
- Optionally include a fallback or development-friendly message
## Additional Context
This was encountered during initial local setup of the frontend.
I would be happy to work on improving this if it aligns with the project.
