…[sc-167368] - Introduce findInstance helper wrapping FindListInstancesResponseInstances with a zone-aware error and -z hint when the instance is not found. - Apply findInstance across all 24 instance subcommands that look up by name/ID. - Add e2e txtar tests covering every affected command. - Redirect go test stderr in e2e CI to suppress false Error banner in Actions UI.

Description
When
exo compute instance <action>commands fail because the instance does not exist in the default zone, the error message previously surfaced a raw SDK message with no context:This PR introduces a
findInstancehelper incmd/compute/instance/instance.gothat wrapsFindListInstancesResponseInstancesand enriches the not-found error with the zone that was searched and a hint to use-z:Changes:
findInstancehelper incmd/compute/instance/instance.go, wrappingFindListInstancesResponseInstanceswith zone-aware error enrichment.show,reboot,start,stop,scale,update,reset,reset-password,reveal-password,resize-disk,scp,ssh,snapshot create,snapshot revert,security-group add/remove,private-network attach/detach/update-ip,elastic-ip attach/detach,enable-tpm,console-url,delete) to use the new helper.tests/e2e/scenarios/with-api/compute/instance_not_found_error.txtar, an API-driven e2e scenario verifying the enriched error message onshow,rebootandstop. Uses the testscript runner from tests/e2e: add API testscript runner and compute instance reboot scenario #804.go teststderr to stdout in.github/workflows/e2e.ymlto suppress a spurious "Error" banner in the GitHub Actions UI that appeared when the test runner wrote to stderr, even though the job itself succeeded.Checklist
