+Evaluate and potentially refactor the error handling in Zerokit to improve composability with other crates.
+The current use of `eyre` for error handling might not align with the preferences orinfrastructure of downstream users.
+As `zerokit` is designed to be a reusable crate,
+relying on a specific error type like `eyre::Report` may limit flexibility for consumers who prefer using `anyhow`,
+custom error types, or other error frameworks.
