CannotAffordLockCost
Fund the signing account or reduce the amount; check with `btcli wallet balance`
The coldkey's free balance cannot cover the current dynamic subnet-creation lock cost. Compare btcli subnets create-cost (or btcli query subnet-registration-cost) against the coldkey balance from btcli wallet balance before registering a subnet.
Declared by the SubtensorModule pallet; it classifies to the semantic code insufficient_balance.
