Research direction

Start with the stackablectl stack install trino-iceberg command and trace the reported Kubernetes client and configuration-inference errors. Done means replacing the cryptic nested error chain with readable messages such as connection or missing-configuration guidance, including relevant context when available.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

currently:

> stackablectl stack install trino-iceberg
An unrecoverable error occured: failed to execute stack (sub)command

Caused by these errors (recent errors listed first):
 1: failed to install stack
 2: stack resource requests error
 3: failed to create kube client
 4: failed to create Kubernetes client
 5: Failed to infer configuration
 6: failed to infer config
 7: failed to determine current context

This is a bit cryptic. it would be good to catch this error and print a more readable message like "could not connect to Kubernetes cluster" or "No Kubernetes configuration found" or something like that. Possibly with context information like "tried connecting to ..." or "tried reading file at ..."
