Problem
The UX is poor when the user applies a run or fleet configuration, some offers fail, and dstack tries other offers.
- It can remain unnoticed that
dstack provisioned a different (e.g. much more expensive) instance than those shown at the top of the offers list.
- It is not possible to troubleshoot why some offers failed.
- There may be no visible progress for several minutes.

- Display the offers that failed and their (possibly ugly) backend-specific provisioning errors. For example, they can be logged above the provisioning table.

Workaround
Follow dstack server logs if you have access.
Implementation notes
Not too easy to implement, might require storing the current offer and provisioning errors in the database.
