I think it would be a good idea to explain what out/... especially in this case.
e.g.
"Error parsing built augment file: out/masterfiles/def.json" or something similar.
We should probably parse all the json files processed by the "json" command individually and error out on those instead so the user can just go to the file directly. I feel like mentioning "out" dir might be confusing to a novice user.

I would add a parse json operation in _perform_json_step() as used here.

Yes, I think this can be a separate todo issue you could log @nickanderson
