Reinstall failed

Error message

Reinstall failed: ${message}

What it means

Wrapped failure in the reinstall route's catch block: the npm reinstall or subsequent reload/re-registration threw, and the underlying message is re-surfaced with a 500 so the operator can see why the reinstall aborted.

Solutions

1. Read the failure message, fix the package or environment issue, and retry the reinstall.
