Describe the bug
When you specify a uses: some/action@non-existent-ref-name, the error message isn't terribly helpful

throw new Exception($"Missing download info for {lookupKey}");

To Reproduce

  1. Create and run a workflow that uses an action with a reference to a ref name that doesn't exist, https://github.com/check-spelling-sandbox/onedrive/actions/runs/14161440115)
  2. See error

Expected behavior
Error message should suggest, if the repository exists, that it's likely the reference name is bad.
