If the cookie in the pref.json is set but invalid, appwrite init project returns with:
✗ Error User (role: guests) missing scope (projects.read)
with verbose
```shell

It would be nice if the error message was more helpful. Tanmoy Karmakar has suggested:
Cannot access projects. Login is required use appwrite login command
FYI, if the cookie is not set we respond with:
✗ Error Session not found. Please run `appwrite login` to create a session
🎤 Pitch
The current error is very technical and doesn't give the user any guidance on how to proceed. A clearer, more helpful error message will create a better developer experience.
👀 Have you spent some time to check if this issue has been raised before?
