Description

goal : user gets clear message due to problems with inputs

inspite of pydantic validations for directories , its possible contents of the folder is invalid , like no image files for deepfake or invalid mount_name for ufdr-plugin

need to adopt more checks like audio plugins use of FileFilterDirectory for all plugins

how about a error handler processor , either code or plugin that takes an error and gives the user a better experience and automate fix ? retry / adjust cpu/mem resource / install pre-reqs

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing Pydantic directory validations and the audio plugins' use of FileFilterDirectory, then compare the deepfake and ufdr-plugin input cases described here. Clarify whether the goal is broader input checks, a shared error handler, or automated recovery; done should mean invalid inputs produce clear user-facing messages and the agreed recovery behavior is covered.
