Description

Motivation

The arduino-app-cli uses the "golang.org/x/text/cases" to print the error to the console with capitalize words.

This causes an issue when a word MUST not change.

For example, in the following case, the ARDUINO_DEVICE_ID is a configuration variable that must not be changed in the error exposed to the user.

Example: Input: variable \"ARDUINO_DEVICE_ID\" is required by brick \"arduino:arduino_cloud\" Output: [ERROR] Variable "Arduino_device_id" Is Required By Brick "Arduino:arduino_cloud"

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find where 'golang.org/x/text/cases' is used to format CLI error messages. Understand how the casing function is applied, and explore ways to preserve original variable names such as ARDUINO DEVICE ID. Look for related tests and run them to verify behavior.
