Description
The CLI messages and documentation use inconsistent terms for conda packages, package URLs, package caches, and base protection. Some descriptions of reset modes and package operations also disagree with the existing behavior.
I updated the help, messages, README, and documentation to use Conda terminology and explain what each operation does. Snapshot prompts and completion messages keep using the existing
display_namelabels. The recorded GIF demos are updated to match the CLI output. The unused MP4 copies and their VHS output lines are removed.The snapshot recovery fix and installer migration guidance are in #177. This PR contains the broader wording and documentation changes extracted from it.
