> * All references to things like 'xdg-home' need to be replaced with specifications of actual paths, as users are not expected to know what XDG is.
> * Accurate indication of what is missing from which file and what can be done to fix it need to be given in all error messages.
> * When variable/key names are given in error messages, they need to be quoted for clarity.
> * Edge cases like for example an existing but empty secrets file and a missing 'secrets_data' key need to be handled better, with clear error messages
> *  Error message when a requested env var is missing needs to be improved to tell the user what to do. Current message can be very confusing when trying to use 'mock_runner.sh' for the 'jenkins' repo for example.
