Research direction

Start at python/selfie-lib/selfie_lib/SnapshotSystem.py lines 127-128, then read the referenced Kotlin SnapshotNotEqualErrorMsg.kt and SnapshotNotEqualErrorMsgTest.kt. Port the error-message behavior to the Python implementation and verify that snapshot mismatches produce the improved messages covered by the Kotlin tests.
