Research direction

Begin by inspecting the lambda-explorer REPL's existing error paths; the issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Before implementation, clarify which incorrect inputs need guidance and how hints should be validated; done means the agreed cases provide consistent, actionable messages.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We want to guide the user with error messages: if they stray from correctness, get them back on track. Consider giving hints for capital vs. lower case letters, etc.
