Directory does not exist

Error message

Directory does not exist: {}

What it means

Early validation guard at the top of run_build: the user-supplied target directory (positional path argument) does not exist on disk, so building cannot proceed. Fires when the path argument is misspelled or points to a deleted directory; when no path is given the current directory is used and is assumed to exist. A generic input-validation bail, not a systemic failure.

Solutions

1. Check the path for typos and rerun from the project directory
2. Create/restore the missing directory
3. Run `astrid build` with no path argument to use the current directory

When it happens
