Description
When launching an instance with incorrect `--network` options (e.g. wrong network name), the error is a dry:
```plain
launch failed: Invalid arguments supplied
Invalid network options supplied
```
We could do much better here :)
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the failure by launching an instance with an incorrect --network option, such as a wrong network name, and trace the validation and error-reporting path. Done means the command reports which network option or value is invalid and provides useful context instead of only saying "Invalid network options supplied."
