${input.label} failed: ${details}

Error message

${input.label} failed: ${details}

What it means

A runtime-provision shell command (labelled by input.label) exited non-zero during workspace provisioning. The error aggregates the command's label plus its captured stdout/stderr details so the failing provisioning step is identifiable.
