Research direction

Start at the create command's handling of region errors and the hosted create-deployment path, using the issue's invalid --region-id example to locate both flows. Verify that human-readable stderr mentions list-regions and that --json exposes error.hint, without adding a region preflight.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

cloud enhancement

Create requires --region-id copied from docs or from elastic cloud serverless regions list-regions. A typo comes back as a raw 400.

On create (and hosted create-deployment if the body is a region error): append elastic cloud serverless regions list-regions (or the hosted equivalent). Do not preflight the region list in MVP.

Acceptance: create with --region-id not-a-region mentions list-regions on stderr. --json includes error.hint.
