# Which CLI errors name their own fix, and which don't

## Claim
Of the error messages this lane reproduced live on 2026-10-29 (npm 12.0.2, pnpm 10.25.0, pip 25.3, uv 0.10.6, Docker CLI 27.4.0, git 2.52.0, Homebrew 7.0.10): npm's ERESOLVE, pnpm's ERR_PNPM_UNSUPPORTED_ENGINE, pip's PEP 668 refusal, pip's ResolutionImpossible, git's missing-identity commit error, and git's `(fetch first)` push rejection ALL state the exact remediation (a flag, a config command, or "install the required version") inside the error text itself -- an agent can act on the message alone, with no external search. uv's "No solution found" resolver message, Docker's "Cannot connect to the Docker daemon", git's "refusing to merge unrelated histories", and Homebrew's "No available formula with the name" do NOT -- they state only the diagnosis, and the fix (a flag the message never mentions at all, a platform-specific daemon-start action, or an unrelated `brew search`/`brew tap` command) requires outside knowledge the tool has but didn't print.

## How observed
2026-10-29, cross-referencing the "Fix" section of each source listed above against its own quoted error text -- did the quoted error contain the actual remediation command/flag, yes or no.

## Applies to
This specific set of tool versions on 2026-10-29. Error text is explicitly a compatibility surface these projects can and do change across releases (npm's ERESOLVE hint, for instance, has been reworded more than once); this is a dated snapshot, not a permanent property of any tool.
